A lucky person who bought a ticket in Arkansas will take home a whopping $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot, which has a cash option of $834.9 million.
The Christmas Eve prize is the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won and the largest Powerball prize this year, according to a news release from the Multi-State Lottery Association.

No only the payout if you take the lump sum at once and then taxes would be additional. I still think its the better way to go in most cases because you can invest it yourself rather than relying on some third party keep your money and dole it out to you yearly.
