Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $33 Million After Record Christmas Eve Win
The Powerball jackpot for the December 29 drawing has reached an estimated $33 million following a record $1.817 billion win on Christmas Eve. Winners can choose between an annuity paid over 30 years or a lump-sum cash payment of approximately $15.2 million before taxes.

The previous winning ticket matched all numbers for the Christmas Eve draw.
