This may be only the 13th highest jackpot size. But to me what the lottery people advertise as "jackpot" is really irrelevant. What counts is the cash value of that jackpot. So how does this compare with the highest winning cash value?

New Powerball rules, designed to create larger jackpots and better chances at becoming a multimillionaire, have local residents snatching up tickets for Wednesday’s drawing, which is anticipated to hit $250 million.
