In the recent Powerball drawing held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, no one won the estimated jackpot of $1 billion, which has now become the seventh-largest jackpot in the game’s history. The cash option for the jackpot was valued at $461.3 million.
The winning numbers for this drawing were 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58, with the red Powerball being 16 and the Power Play at 2x. Although there was no grand prize winner, the drawing did yield two Match 5 + Power Play winners, both securing $2 million each in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Additionally, five players matched five numbers and won $1 million each in California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, and Virginia.
As anticipation builds, the next Powerball drawing is set for Monday, December 15, with the estimated jackpot now climbing to $1.10 billion, featuring a cash option of $503.4 million. This upcoming jackpot represents the sixth largest in Powerball history. The drawing on December 13 marked the 42nd in the current jackpot cycle, tying for the record of the most consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The last time someone won the Powerball jackpot was on September 6, when two winning tickets shared a staggering $1.787 billion prize.
Powerball drawings occur three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Playing Powerball involves selecting five numbers from a range of 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. A single ticket costs $2, with an option to add Power Play for an additional dollar, which can multiply the winnings (excluding the jackpot). Players can buy tickets at various locations including gas stations, convenience stores, and supermarkets across 45 states, as well as through the Ohio Lottery website.
With the game’s growing popularity and the massive jackpots on the line, especially with the current $1.10 billion up for grabs, excitement continues to build as players and hopeful participants await the next drawing.
