The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.25 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in the December 15 drawing. The winning numbers were 23, 35, 59, 63, 68, and the red Powerball 2. This marks the second-largest jackpot of the year. The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, at 10:59 p.m. ET, broadcast from the Florida Lottery's studio in Tallahassee and available via livestream. Players select five white ball numbers (1 to 69) and one red Powerball number (1 to 26). The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9, though hitting the jackpot remains extremely rare, with odds significantly lower than being struck by lightning. The cash value of the current jackpot stands at approximately $572.1 million before taxes.
