The latest lottery Powerball jackpot is estimated at $570 million annuity, with a cash‐option value of about $266.9 million, heading into the Monday, November 17, 2025 drawing.

What’s going on with the jackpot?

  • In the most recent draw on Saturday, November 15, 2025, the winning numbers were 6-7-12-47-53 and Powerball 21. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over.
  • Because no one won the grand prize, the jackpot continued to increase, reaching the current estimate for the next drawing.
  • The game is played across 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

How the payout options work

  • A jackpot winner can choose a 30-year annuity (the advertised jackpot) paid in annual installments.
  • Or the winner may take a one‐time lump sum (the cash option), which is lower—about $266.9 million for this drawing.
  • The ticket cost is $2 per play.
  • To win the top prize, a player must match five white balls (from a pool of 1 to 69) plus the red Powerball (1 to 26).
  • The odds of winning the jackpot: roughly 1 in 292 million.

Why this matters

  • Because the jackpot keeps growing as long as no one hits the top prize, elevated estimates draw more attention and higher ticket sales.
  • Even though odds remain extremely long, players still have a chance at hundreds of millions of dollars—hence the surge in interest.
  • Minor‐prize tiers (matching fewer numbers) exist in many states, but the vast majority of the prize pool builds in the jackpot itself.

What to keep an eye on

  • Check for results of the November 17 drawing after the 10:59 p.m. ET drawing time.
  • If the jackpot remains unclaimed, expect another rollover and further growth for the next draw.
  • Be sure to verify cut‐off times for ticket sales in your state and keep your ticket safe if you play.

Final Thought


The lottery Powerball jackpot has climbed to a substantial sum, offering an astonishing opportunity—but the odds remain steep. If you decide to participate, do so responsibly and good luck.
