Accumulated, the American lottery Powerball can pay out tonight, Saturday (4), the tenth biggest prize in its history: 700 million dollars (equivalent to almost R$ 3.6 billion).
The prize rose after no winner hit the six tens last Wednesday — 31, 43, 58, 59 and 66.
However, if someone is lucky enough to hit the numbers today, they won’t pocket that amount in full.
This is because, unlike Brazil, where the prize is tax-free, in the United States taxes are deducted.
The amount available to the winner would be estimated at 375.7 million dollars (about R$ 1.9 billion), still a fortune.
On November 7, 2022, Poweball paid a prize of US$ 2 billion (R$ 10.2 billion) for a California winning ticketwhich is the highest value in the history of the lottery.
