UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has surged to an astonishing $629 million after no winners emerged from the previous drawing. This latest drawing is set for Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, and the excitement is palpable as ticket sales continue to climb.
This jackpot is inching closer to becoming one of the largest in Powerball history, following a winless streak since September. The last grand prize winners, who claimed a record-breaking $1.8 billion in September, split the second-largest Powerball prize ever. Two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas matched all six numbers to take home the massive payout.
The current jackpot spike follows a recent Mega Millions winner, who scored nearly $1 billion in Newnan, Georgia, breaking the long winless run of that lottery game. With Powerball’s rising jackpot, players are eager to check their tickets and see if they hold the winning numbers.
“With the jackpot at $629 million, it’s a thrilling time for players across the country,” lottery officials stated.
The winning numbers for this Saturday’s drawing were just announced: 28-32-36-51-69 with a Powerball of 2 and a Power Play of 2x. The drawing will take place live at 10:59 p.m. ET, providing one last chance for hopeful players to win big.
Tickets for the Powerball cost just $2 and are available in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The excitement surrounding the rising jackpot is palpable, as players dream of what they would do with such a life-changing amount of money.
