Could this holiday season bring about a life-changing event for a lucky Powerball player? As of December 18, 2025, the estimated Powerball jackpot has soared to an astounding $1.5 billion, offering a cash value of approximately $686.5 million.
Here are some key details regarding the upcoming drawing and recent outcomes.
On December 17, the winning Powerball numbers were 25, 33, 53, 62, and 66, with the Powerball being 17 and a Power Play of 4x. Unfortunately, there were no jackpot winners from this drawing, nor from the previous drawing on December 15. This month has seen a streak of no jackpot winners, maintaining increasing suspense leading into the next drawing.
Despite the lack of a jackpot winner, several individuals scored significant prizes. Two winners, one each from Arizona and Massachusetts, matched five numbers with the Power Play for a prize of $2 million. Additionally, there were several $1 million winners from Connecticut, New York (three winners), Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
The anticipation continues as the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, December 20. Players are eagerly awaiting the chance to turn their holiday dreams into reality with this record-setting jackpot. With a mix of luck and holiday spirit, possibilities abound for new beginnings this Christmas season.
