How to Play Powerball
Powerball is one of America’s most popular lottery games, played in 45 states, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball.
Each play costs $2, with an optional Power Play feature available for an additional $1, allowing players to multiply non-jackpot winnings by up to 10x when the jackpot is under $150 million.
Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, offering players three chances each week to win millions.
Recent Powerball Winners and Big Jackpots in 2025
This year has already seen several impressive Powerball wins, though no jackpot has yet surpassed the record-breaking amounts from previous years.
Here are some notable 2025 Powerball wins:
- March 2025: A single ticket sold in California won $145 million, marking one of the largest jackpots of the spring season.
- June 2025: A Florida player claimed $70 million, choosing the lump-sum cash option.
- September 2025: A group of coworkers in Michigan split a $55 million prize, one of the few multi-winner jackpots this year.

The Odds of Winning
Winning the Powerball jackpot is a long shot — but it’s a dream that millions of Americans pursue every week. The odds of matching all six numbers are 1 in 292,201,338.
However, there are many smaller prizes that offer better odds:
- Matching five numbers without the Powerball has odds of 1 in 11,688,053.
- Matching four numbers plus the Powerball is 1 in 913,129.
- Even the smallest prize of $4 (for matching only the Powerball) has odds of 1 in 38.
These odds reflect why Powerball jackpots can grow so quickly — with many drawings passing without a grand prize winner, the top prize often rolls over multiple times before being claimed.
Where the Money Goes
Each Powerball ticket sale contributes to more than just the jackpot. A portion of proceeds from every ticket supports public programs in the states where tickets are sold. These include education funding, environmental conservation, and community programs.
For example:
- In California, nearly 95 cents of every dollar from lottery revenue goes to public schools and colleges.
- In Florida, a portion supports scholarships through the Bright Futures program.
- In Texas and Georgia, funds help finance public education and early childhood initiatives.
This makes Powerball not only a game of chance but also a source of public benefit nationwide.
Claiming Prizes and Payment Options
Winners of smaller prizes can typically redeem tickets at local retailers or state lottery offices. Larger prize claims — usually those exceeding $600 — must be submitted directly to a lottery headquarters or regional office.
Jackpot winners can choose between two payout methods:
- Annuity Option: The full jackpot paid out in 30 graduated annual installments over 29 years.
- Cash Option: A lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the jackpot, minus federal and state taxes.
For Saturday’s drawing, the estimated cash payout of $82.6 million would be reduced after applicable taxes, depending on the winner’s state of residence. Lottery Powerball Winning Numbers: Results for November 23, 2025, and Current Jackpot Update
Tips for Players
While winning Powerball is largely about luck, players can take practical steps to ensure a smooth experience:
- Double-check tickets after every drawing.
- Sign the back of your ticket immediately to protect ownership.
- Keep tickets in a safe place until verified.
- For group play, put agreements in writing to avoid disputes over winnings.
It’s also wise to consult financial and legal professionals before claiming any large prize, as sudden wealth can come with complex financial decisions.
