Monday's drawing marked the 37th consecutive draw without a grand prize winner since May 2, when two players in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot.
Payout Options and Taxes
The top prize carries an estimated lump-sum cash option of $277.3 million before taxes.
If a single winner chooses the lump sum, federal withholding taxes of 24% will reduce the payout to $210.7 million, according to Forbes.
At the top federal marginal tax rate of 37%, the final cash payout drops to approximately $174.7 million, with potential state taxes ranging up to 10.9% depending on jurisdiction.
Alternatively, winners can opt for an annuity payout totaling $633 million paid across 30 annual installments that increase by 5% each year.
After federal taxes over 29 years, the annuity option yields a total of about $400 million, as reported by lottery organizers.
International Expansion
The drawing occurred during the lottery's largest expansion into international markets, as reported by USA Today.
