$450 Million Powerball Jackpot: How Would You Spend It?

The prize would add up to an estimated take home of about $228 million for a Floridian.

As the clock ticks down on Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, an estimated $450 million is on the line for anyone able to select the right numbers.

If a Floridian manages to pull off the right picks, the estimated take-home cash would amount to roughly $228,075,000, according to the lottery analytics website USAMega.com. That’s, of course, the number for a single, lump-sum payout. Should a Floridian win and opt for 30 payments instead, the total haul would add up to more than $337 million.
