UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to $629 million ahead of the highly anticipated drawing on November 22, 2025. This surge follows a winless stretch for the game, with no winners for the previous $593 million jackpot.
This latest jackpot is inching closer to making history, potentially landing among the top 10 largest Powerball prizes ever. The grand prize has been steadily increasing since the last big winners in September, when two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a record-breaking $1.8 billion jackpot, one of the largest in U.S. history.
As excitement builds, the competing Mega Millions game recently broke a long winless streak with a ticket worth nearly a billion dollars sold in Newnan, Georgia. Lottery players are advised to check their tickets and participate in the Saturday draw.
The winning numbers for tonight’s drawing are: 28, 32, 36, 51, 69, with a Powerball number of 2 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x.
Powerball drawings occur live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Tickets are available for $2 per play in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
