The $222.6 million Powerball jackpot in Monday’s drawing was won by a lucky ticket holder in New Jersey, marking the fourth time this year that the jackpot has been claimed. Previously, the jackpot was won in May by a ticket in Florida, which took home a staggering $214.9 million. The winner of the latest jackpot has the option to receive a lump-sum payment of $104.7 million after taxes, as estimated by the lottery. As a result of Monday’s win, the jackpot has been reset to $20 million with a cash value of $9.4 million for the upcoming drawing on Wednesday.
