The Powerball jackpot has soared to an impressive $775 million following a recent drawing without a winner. The numbers drawn on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, were 1, 14, 20, 46, 51, and the Powerball was 26. As of now, results on whether anyone won the jackpot are still pending.
Powerball drawings occur three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. The current jackpot marks a significant increase since no player matched all six winning numbers in the last drawing, inviting hopeful players to check their tickets in anticipation of becoming the next millionaire.
The $775 million jackpot offers a cash option of $362.5 million for those who seek immediate winnings. In addition, players are allowed to enhance their ticket with the Power Play for an additional $1, which can multiply winnings, excluding the jackpot itself. There’s also an option to add Double Play for another $1, providing a second chance to win up to $10 million.
For those interested in participating, a single ticket costs $2. Players should keep in mind that a minimum of one number needs to be matched to win a prize, with the Powerball itself being crucial for any payout. Matching two numbers will only yield a prize if one of those is the Powerball.
While Powerball is capturing attention, Mega Millions is also generating excitement with an estimated jackpot of $50 million for the upcoming drawing on Friday, December 5, 2025.
In a glance at the historical context, the current jackpot of $775 million ranks among the larger Powerball jackpots in recent memory. The top prizes in 2025 included a staggering $1.787 billion won in September and $1.765 billion won in October, showcasing the potential for life-changing fortunes.
As the excitement builds around the upcoming drawing, players are reminded to gamble responsibly as they chase the dream of winning big.
