If you take the lump sum option, the whole sum is subject to earnings tax that year.
Two tickets sold in Connecticut and Texas won $1 million, and a ticket in Montana had the Powerplay to win $two million.
There will be a different possibility to secure the winning Powerball jackpot on Saturday, and it will be even closer to $500 million after no one particular had Wednesday's winning numbers.
The U.S. Virgin Islands joined Mega Millions in October 2010.
