Estimate assumptions
- California ticket-state tax uses the repository's 0.00% headline rate for tax year 2026.
- Federal tax uses 24% withholding plus a simplified 13 percentage-point top-bracket adjustment above the single threshold; it is not a full progressive tax return.
- Gross cash payout uses the provided official cash value.
Limitations and warnings
- Educational estimate only. It does not model deductions, gambling-loss offsets, trusts, estate planning, investment returns, or future law changes.
Winning numbers and Power Play multipliers come from NY State Open Data dataset d6yy-54nr, refreshed after each Powerball drawing. Per-draw jackpot, cash value, and prize-tier winner counts are scraped from the official powerball.com draw-result page. Federal and state tax assumptions are documented in /methodology. Powerball is a registered trademark of the Multi-State Lottery Association; this page is an independent educational record.
