The Powerball lottery jackpot has now reached an estimated $750 million, marking the 10th largest jackpot in the game’s history. The next drawing is set for Monday evening, August 25, 2025, as the jackpot continues to grow after no winner emerged from the last drawing.
In the previous Powerball drawing held on Saturday, the winning numbers were 11, 14, 34, 47, 51, and Powerball 18. While no one claimed the jackpot, several other winners emerged from across the country. Two tickets sold in Maine and New York each matched all five white ball numbers, resulting in a win of $1 million apiece. Additionally, a ticket sold in South Dakota matched all five white ball numbers and won $2 million due to the Power Play option being activated.
In total, over 30 tickets sold nationwide won prizes ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. Notably, California saw more than 230,000 winning tickets sold, with the largest single prize amounting to $21,448. The current drawing is the 37th since a jackpot-winning ticket was last sold on May 31, 2025, which claimed a $204.5 million prize in California.
Those lucky enough to win the estimated $750 million jackpot have two payout options.
