The Powerball jackpot has risen to an exciting $80 million for the upcoming drawing on Saturday, June 14, after no winner emerged from the previous drawing on June 11. Players who successfully match all five numbers plus the Powerball can opt for a one-time cash payment of $36.3 million.
In 2025, there have already been four jackpot winners, with the latest substantial victory occurring on May 31 when a Californian player took home a hefty $204.5 million. Earlier in the year, an Oregon resident purchased the first jackpot-winning ticket, netting a remarkable $328.5 million on January 18. Following that, two more jackpot winners included a $527 million winner on March 29 and a $167.3 million winner from Kentucky on April 26.
The winning numbers for the upcoming drawing on June 14 are: 4, 6, 9, 23, 59 with the Powerball number being 25. Though there was no jackpot winner in the latest drawing, a player in Indiana did win a $1 million Match 5 prize.
Players interested in participating can buy Powerball tickets for $2 at various retail locations, including gas stations and grocery stores. In some states, tickets are also available online. Participants select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. For an additional dollar, players can opt for the “Power Play” feature, which increases winning amounts for non-jackpot prizes.
The next Powerball drawing is set to take place on Monday, June 16, right after 11 p.m. ET. As the jackpot continues to grow, excitement builds among players hopeful for a chance to change their lives with a lucky ticket.
With this ongoing enthusiasm in the lottery scene, remember to play responsibly and good luck to everyone trying their luck this weekend!
