Actually worse than many of previous winners.
Pardon, your math is off.
It's $186m each ticket.

Welp, I'm off to cash my (2) $4 winners. I'll re-invest in lottery, but I'm not sure it will be Powerball.

At the place where I bought my ticket, some guy won $50K. I looked it up and apparently he got 4 numbers and the powerball number (of if he did the powerplay, he would have won $100K). I think that's awful low to get 5 numbers out of 6. But oh well, you take what you can get.

Hehe... I put the tax as final amount.
$122 is the tax on $310.
Yes, so 310-122 = 188. Still not the billion hype.

I guess after taxes the take home pay for 3 winners is 188 million dollars. Right ?

Once the "take home" exceeds 25 million or so .... does it really make that much difference? 1% interest is 250k a year. I could live very comfortably on just that and never touch the principal.

I wonder if the 3 winners plan on pooling their winnings together so they could give each person in America 4 million dollars?
***yes that is sarcasm for some of you out there***
