$600 Million Powerball Jackpot Breaks Records: How Would You Spend It?

What would you do with $600 million in cold, hard cash?

That’s what we’re wondering as the jackpot in tonight’s Powerball drawing hits the $600 million mark.

That number, according to the Florida Lottery, tops the previous $587.5 million Powerball record jackpot set in November 2012. Players in Arizona and Missouri won that prize, the lottery website says.

Florida, by the way, hasn’t had the best showing in jackpot wins since it joined the Powerball’s other 42 states in 2009.

Only five people have hit the Powerball jackpot in Florida, according to a Powerball analysis website. There have been 185 second-place winners to date.

Just how much would you take home if you won tonight’s drawing?

According to USAMega.com, that $600 million translates to about $282.6 million after taxes for Florida residents.

While Uncle Sam gets a large chunk of the change, $282 million is still worth writing home about.
