ORLANDO, Fla. - The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing has skyrocketed to a whopping $1.73 billion after there was no grand prize winner on Monday.

If a lucky lottery player wins the jackpot in Florida — which has a cash value of $756.6 million – they will win the second-largest jackpot prize in U.S. history!

While you're dreaming of what you would do with all that money – like buying a new house, car, or maybe an island – how much do you really get after taxes?

With a jackpot that high, it's safe to say that no matter how much in taxes is taken out, you'd still be sitting pretty on quite a sweet chunk of change in the end.

Your winnings depend on whether you choose to take the lump sum payment or the annuity payout.

"Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump-sum payment. Both advertised prize options are prior to federal and jurisdictional taxes," the Powerball website stated.

In case you want to start calculating your potential take-home dollars now, we've tracked down some online lottery payout calculators for you to play with.
