Powerball Jackpot Climbs to Estimated $815 Million, Seventh-Largest in Game History

The Powerball® jackpot continues its historic climb, now reaching an estimated $815 million ahead of Wednesday night’s drawing, marking the seventh-largest prize in the game’s history. The lump sum cash value is estimated at $367.9 million before taxes.

No ticket matched all six numbers in Monday night’s drawing — white balls 16, 19, 34, 37, 64 and red Powerball 22, with a Power Play® multiplier of 3 — allowing the jackpot to roll over once again. While the grand prize remained untouched, two lucky players in Georgia and Texas each won $1 million by matching all five white balls. Additionally, 26 players across the country won $50,000 prizes, and five players took home $150,000 thanks to the Power Play feature.

In the Double Play® drawing, which offers players a second chance to win with the same numbers for an extra $1, a Maryland ticket won $500,000 by matching all five black balls. Double Play drawings stream live on Powerball.com following the main drawing.

Wednesday’s drawing marks the 38th since the last jackpot was hit on May 31, 2025, by a player in California. Should someone win the upcoming draw, they’ll choose between an annuitized prize of $815 million—paid as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments increasing by 5% each year—or the lump sum option of $367.9 million. Both amounts are pre-tax.

Powerball tickets are sold for $2 in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Over half the revenue from ticket sales remains in the jurisdiction where the ticket is purchased, contributing to public initiatives. Since launching in 1992, Powerball has helped generate over $36 billion for good causes.

Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery’s draw studio in Tallahassee and are broadcast live and streamed online at Powerball.com.
