Four machines are available for each drawing and each machine has the ability to pick either five balls, for the first five numbers, or one ball, for the powerball number. There are four white ball sets and four red ball sets that can be used during a drawing, with each ball set sealed with a unique numbered seal, dooley said. Before every drawing, the seal numbers are confirmed. The average life span for a ball set is two to four years.

Just as the lottery itself is random, the ball sets and machines used also are randomly selected.

Before the live drawing, the balls are loaded into the machines in numerical order. The independent auditor and musl draw official check to see that all 69 white balls and all 26 red balls are in the machine.

Then, the draw official presses three buttons: One to start the draw machine, the second to release the balls into the mixing chamber and the third to begin the selection process, dooley said.

The balls are allowed to mix for at least 5 seconds before the select mode button is pushed. Once the select mode button is pushed, the machine begins an automatic draw process, which the draw official has no control over.

The machine mixes the balls, then automatically slows the paddles to allow a ball to fall randomly to the bottom of the drum, she said. When a ball falls into the hole at the bottom of the drum, the lighted pole lifts that ball to the top of the machine, to roll down to the selection tray.

When the fifth and final white ball has been selected, the draw official will trigger the red ball machine to select the red ball.

Once the drawing is complete, the machines are turned off.

Determine your goals
Determine what your goals are for your newfound wealth. Buying a new house (or two), driving a nicer car, and taking better vacations are all benefits of having wealth. But the pleasure of having nicer things will wear off; research has found that we quickly adapt to an improved lifestyle. Work with a wealth professional to develop a vision for what you want the wealth to do for you, your family, and your community.

Create a spending and investing plan
With an idea of your goals for your wealth in place, work with your financial advisor to create a spending and investing plan to achieve those goals. Even though you are now worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, it still makes sense to have spending discipline, as mindlessly spending money is unfulfilling and can take a significant bite out of your wealth. On the investing front, an important decision is whether to invest the winnings all at once or over time. I’ve written about the pros and cons of each strategy in this article: You’ve received an influx of cash. Is it best to invest it as a lump sum or by dollar-cost averaging?

Engage in tax-focused estate planning.
Wealth over $13.6 million (or $27.2 million for married couples) is subject to estate tax. Tax-focused estate planning with your attorney and financial team is essential if your lottery winnings put you over this threshold. This will likely involve creating entities such as trusts and limited liability companies.

Consider funding a private foundation or donor-advised fund.
You'll owe significant income taxes if you take a lump sum payout. A way to reduce the tax bite is to make a large contribution to charity in the year you claim the jackpot, as the charitable deduction will offset your lottery income. You may want to fund a charitable entity such as a private foundation or donor-advised fund, which will allow you to claim a current income tax deduction but make payments to charity over time. You can read more about donor-advised funds and private foundations in my article here.
