Powerball Jackpot Soars to $654 Million for Monday’s Drawing
The Powerball jackpot continues to fuel excitement across the United States, reaching an estimated $654 million for the drawing on Monday, November 24, 2025. This substantial prize, with a cash value of $303.2 million, is the result of 29 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner, a streak that began after the historic $1.787 billion payout earlier this year.
Recent Drawings and Winners
Despite no jackpot winner in the Saturday, November 22, 2025, drawing, two players in Georgia and Oklahoma each won $1 million by matching all five white ball numbers. The winning numbers for that draw were 28-32-36-51-69, with a Powerball of 2 and a Power Play of 2X.
Prior to that, the Wednesday, November 19, 2025, drawing also saw a $1 million winner, with a ticket purchased in New Jersey. The numbers drawn were 10-31-49-51-68 and Powerball 19 (Power Play 2x). A lucky player in West Virginia also claimed a $1 million prize in the Monday, November 17, 2025, drawing (winning numbers 7-33-50-57-66, Powerball 23, Power Play 5x).
How to Play and Win
Powerball tickets cost $2 each, with the option to add the Power Play for an additional $1, potentially multiplying non-jackpot winnings by up to five times – or even 10x if the annuity jackpot is $150 million or less. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. While the odds of winning the jackpot are a daunting 1 in 292.2 million, the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.87.
Drawing Schedule and Accessibility
Powerball drawings are held three times a week – on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays – at 10:59 pm ET (9:59 pm CT, 8:59 pm MT, and 7:59 pm PT). Tickets are available for purchase in 45 states, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands, and even online in select locations. Notably, participation does not require US citizenship or residency, though winnings are subject to applicable federal and local taxes.
The Power Play Multiplier
The Power Play option offers a significant boost to winnings, with multipliers ranging from 2x to 5x. When the annuity jackpot is at or below $150 million, the multiplier increases to 10x, potentially doubling a $1 million prize to $2 million.
Important Considerations
The order of the five white ball numbers drawn does not affect prize eligibility; only the Powerball number must match exactly. Players can purchase multiple tickets, but each play is independent, and combining numbers across different lines is not permitted.
