Powerball jackpot reaches $348 million

Sunday, May 1, 2016

What would you do with $348 million?

No one took home Saturday's Powerball jackpot, and now the prize has surged to $348 million.

Do you have a strategy when it comes to playing Powerball?

The prize is expected to grow even more by next Wednesday's drawing.

You can do a lot with $348 million, but you'll only get that amount if you take the annuity, the money paid out over 30 years.

If you're a lump sum kind of player, you'll take home a cash value of about $226 million, which is still plenty of money.

From California to Florida, Powerball fever has elevated three to multi-millionaire status...and four to millionaire status in Texas.
