How much are the Mega Millions winnings worth?

The jackpot jumped to $1.05 billion, or a cash option of $527.9 million, marking the lottery’s fourth largest prize in history, the Mega Millions said in a statement early Saturday.

How are winnings paid out?

Winners can choose to receive their payment as an annuity or a lump sum.

The lump sum option is a one-time payment of the entire jackpot amount, which will be $527.9 million for Tuesday’s round.

The IRS will take a large cut if you win, requiring a mandatory 24% withholding for funds over $5,000. State taxes will also be taken and vary depending on where you live.

The other method is having the winnings paid out over 30 payments over 29 years, with the disbursement increasing at a rate of 5% per year. Winners will pay taxes as they go, and rates can fluctuate over the years.
