Powerball Jackpot Reaches $1 Billion for December 13 Drawing

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1 billion for the Saturday, December 13, 2025, drawing, marking the second time this year the prize has reached this milestone. The jackpot increased after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's draw.

The winning numbers from the Wednesday, December 10, 2025, drawing were 10, 16, 29, 33, 69, and Powerball 22. While no ticket claimed the grand prize, three players matched all five white balls to win $1 million each. The million-dollar tickets were sold in Maryland, Michigan, and New Jersey.

Winners who claim the $1 billion jackpot can choose between two payment options. The annuity option provides the full $1 billion paid out over 30 years in graduated payments that increase by 5% annually. The lump sum cash option offers an immediate one-time payment of $461.3 million before taxes.

The next Powerball drawing will take place at 10:59 p.m. ET and will be broadcast from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, available on the Powerball website and TV stations nationwide. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Tickets cost $2, and for an extra $1, players can add the Power Play option to multiply non-jackpot winnings.

Tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and ticket purchase deadlines vary by location.
