Jerome Simmons stood on a Charleston street corner with arms stretched wide, imagining that he was already holding the oversized grand-prize check for Wednesday night’s $485 million Powerball drawing. The jackpot, the third-largest in Powerball history, would mean a $327 million cash payout or $485 million in annual payments spread out over 30 years, officials said.
