Someone in New Jersey is waking up a multi-millionaire. One single winning Powerball ticket had all 5 numbers and the lucky Powerball—scoring the 847 million dollar jackpot Wednesday night. The lump sum pay out after taxes on that win comes to 363.1 million dollars.
The latest jackpot win comes less than three months after a ticket bought in Quincy, Illinois won a $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot on August 12th. Lottery officials say the back-to-back jackpots rank as the 8th- and 9th-largest prizes in Powerball history. You have another chance to score some big money, as tomorrow night’s Megamillions jackpot grows to 505 million dollars.
Back to that Powerball, What does 363 million get you?
A Customized Airbus A380 Private Jet: A heavily outfitted and customized super-luxury A380 can cost around $500 million, meaning $363 million could buy a slightly smaller or custom wide-body private jet.
Multiple Private Islands or Superyachts: Exclusive private islands with resorts and estates can range up to $100 million each, and luxury superyachts span from tens of millions to over $500 million.
High-End Survival Complexes: Apocalypse-ready survival condos or luxury underground bunkers can cost anywhere from $10 million to over $50 million per compound.
Or
Eight Genuine Stegosaurus Fossils: In recent high-profile auctions, pristine dinosaur fossils have commanded massive prices. For example, the famous Stegosaurus fossil named “Apex” sold to a billionaire for $44.6 million. With $363 million, you could outbid museums to build your own personal, private Jurassic Park army of roughly eight giant, authentic dinosaurs.
