The Powerball jackpot reached $167 million, with a cash option of $73.4 million, for the drawing held on Saturday night, May 24, 2025. This follows a drawing on Wednesday that did not yield any winning jackpot tickets.
For the May 24 drawing, the winning numbers were 12, 18, 28, 48, and 52, with the Powerball number being 5. Unfortunately, no tickets matched all five white balls, meaning the jackpot continues to grow.
In Powerball, players can win with a variety of combinations. A ticket with just the Powerball number wins $4. If you match two balls and the Powerball, or three numbers without the Powerball, you win $7. Matching four numbers without the Powerball grants you $100, while four numbers plus the Powerball leads to a $50,000 prize. The ultimate win, hitting all five numbers and the Powerball, awards the jackpot.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Previously notable Powerball jackpots include a record $2.04 billion won in November 2022 in California, and other significant wins over the past years have kept excitement alive among players. As the jackpot continues to grow, it keeps the public engaged and hopeful for their chance to win big.
The anticipation builds as the next drawing approaches, leaving participants eager for their opportunity to turn their dreams into reality.
