According to state lottery officials, Powerball tickets were being sold at a clip of more than $3,100 per minute in Connecticut on Wednesday.

Just how much of Wednesday’s estimated cash value of $930 million will actually end up in your pockets? USAMega.com crunched the numbers for each of the 44 states that participate in Powerball, including Connecticut. And while you won’t walk away with all of it, you will still have an awful lot of money to play with.

After factoring in a 6.7 percent state tax and a 25 percent federal tax, the site’s analysts say if a Connecticut resident happens to pick Wednesday night’s numbers, he or she would receive $635,190,000, if a lump sum payout were selected. The annuity payout over 30 years would pump up your wallet by $34,150,000 a year.

The total payout in that scenario after 30 years? An estimated $1,124,500,000.

But you might not have to wait until the drawing to know if you’re already a winner. There are winning $1 million and $2 million Powerball tickets that have yet to be claimed, according to Connecticut Lottery officials.
