The person who won $2 billion in the California Powerball in the United States, has the possibility of cashing out once a year. This option became effective, after the two-month period to demand the money with the single payment had elapsed. In this other opportunity to request the prize, the winner has a period of ten months. The first option had the disadvantage of including a 50% discount that would be $997 million dollars.
With annual payments of $63 million for 30 years, the winner would get more than the total amount of $1.89 billion. This amount is equivalent to a 5.5% cut in the overall figure.
The organizers of the largest prize in history have not communicated the player’s presence to seek his fortune. The ticket he won was purchased at Joe’s Service Center gas station in the city of Altadena, which belongs to the county of Los Angeles.
