UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has surged to an astonishing $930 million for the upcoming drawing on December 10, 2025. As excitement builds, players across the nation are racing to buy tickets for a chance to win this life-changing amount.
The jackpot has been climbing since September 6, when two lucky tickets sold in Missouri and Texas shared a record-breaking $1.787 billion. With the odds of winning standing at a staggering 1 in over 292 million, the anticipation is palpable. Powerball tickets are priced at just $2 each, making it an accessible gamble for many.
Powerball is available in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Notably, over half of the proceeds from ticket sales remain within the jurisdiction where they were sold, directly benefiting local communities. Since its inception in 1992, Powerball has generated more than $36 billion for various charitable causes supported by U.S. lotteries.
The New York Lottery, which continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, has greatly contributed to education funding. For the fiscal year 2022-2023, it provided $3.7 billion in lottery aid to support educational initiatives across the state. The distribution of these funds follows a statutory formula, ensuring that larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares.
For those eager to catch the drawing live, Powerball results will be streamed on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Join the excitement and view the results on ABC 7 New York or through the New York Lottery’s official website.
In light of the growing interest, the New York Lottery urges anyone struggling with gambling addiction to seek help. The state’s confidential HOPEline is available at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-846-7369) or via text at HOPENY (467369). Standard text rates may apply.
