Your odds of winning the jackpot are pretty low — only one in 292.2 million for the jackpot – but someone is going to win eventually.
If you do happen to win, you have a choice of how to collect your prize.
One option is one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year, according to Powerball.
