The Take Home Amount For Tonight’s $700 Million Powerball Drawing
What is the take home amount for tonight’s $700 million Powerball drawing? The Powerball jackpot is the 5th largest in history, but if you win you are faced with the question of whether to take the lump sum or take the annuity payments.
If you take the one-time lump sum payment then the cash option will be $335.7 million. Federal taxes will then take another 24%, which is a little over $80 million. Florida doesn’t have any state taxes, so you won’t have to pay more than that. So the take home amount is $255,132,000. The annuity option is paid in 30 installments over 29 years. The take home for the annuity option is $532,000,001.
Tonight’s $700 Million Powerball Drawing is one of the biggest ever and it will make you a lot of money, but it isn’t even close as the jackpot says it is. $255 million is still a lot of money and you will live comfortably for the rest of you life off that amount of money.
Launa's Top 5 Moments From Pig Jig
The 11th Annual Pig Jig happened this past weekend at Julian B. Lane right on the Riverwalk in Tampa. Even though this is an event that is packed full of friends listening to great music and eating great BBQ, it’s more than that. The Tampa Pig Jig is a philanthropic event that raises money for NephCure Kidney International, the only nonprofit organization committed to supporting research, improving treatment, and finding a cure for the debilitating kidney disease, Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Nephrotic Syndrome.
A couple of guys from Tampa started this in their garage and it’s grown into a huge city event. This year Sam Hunt and Kip Moore were the headliners.
So many great moments from the night, but here are my top 5
