The Powerball Jackpot has soared to a massive $409 million for the September 30, Wednesday night's drawing following the failure of any player to match all the five white balls along with the red Powerball number in the Monday night's draw. This new lottery gives players another chance of grabbing a life-changing win. The advertised amount of $409 million jackpot is the annuity prize money paid over 30 years. One can also opt for a one-time cash prize money, which is estimated to be worth $170.2 million. Both amounts are subject to federal and any state taxes that may apply.
