UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an astounding $875 million, following yet another drawing that failed to produce a winner. This marks the second-largest jackpot of 2025 and is set to be drawn tonight, December 6, at 10:59 PM EST.
The latest surge in the jackpot comes after Saturday’s drawing saw no jackpot winner, but it did result in numerous smaller prizes. Notably, four players scored seven-figure payouts by matching all white numbers except for the Powerball. Three of these winners, from Florida, Georgia, and Texas, will each take home $1 million, while a fourth player from New Jersey will receive $3 million due to the Power Play feature.
In total, 28 players matched four white numbers and the Powerball, earning $50,000 each. Additionally, 12 players matched the same numbers, but thanks to Power Play, will each take home $100,000.
The winning numbers from the last drawing were 13, 14, 26, 28, and 44, with a Powerball of 7. As anticipation builds for tonight’s drawing, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
In related news, the Mega Millions game recently celebrated two consecutive jackpots. A player from New Jersey won a $90 million jackpot just days ago, and a player in Georgia had previously won a jaw-dropping $980 million jackpot.
In a heartwarming twist, a South Carolina Education Lottery player recently won $500,000 from a scratch-off ticket. The winner described the moment as a spontaneous birthday treat that turned into an unforgettable gift, stating that the prize has opened numerous opportunities for him.
With the Powerball drawing just hours away, millions of hopeful players are gearing up for a chance at life-changing winnings. Will tonight be the night someone claims the massive jackpot? Stay tuned for the latest updates and results!
