California – The Powerball lottery jackpot has soared to an estimated $750 million, making it the 10th largest jackpot in the game’s history. With no winner emerging from the last drawing held on Saturday, the stage is set for the next drawing, which will take place on Monday evening, August 25, 2025.
During the most recent Saturday drawing, the winning numbers were 11, 14, 34, 47, 51, and Powerball 18. A total of over 30 tickets bought across the country won prizes between $50,000 and $100,000. Notably, two of these tickets sold in Maine and New York matched all five white ball numbers, winning each $1 million. A ticket purchased in South Dakota matched the same five numbers but won $2 million by utilizing the Power Play option.
In California, the number of winning tickets exceeded 230,000, with the largest single prize amounting to $21,448. The upcoming drawing will mark the 37th consecutive drawing since the last jackpot winning ticket was sold, a $204.5 million prize drawn on May 31, 2025, in California.
Players vying for the estimated $750 million jackpot have two options for their winnings: a lump sum payment of approximately $338.6 million or an annuity option that includes one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year. Tickets cost $2 each and are available in 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 8 p.m. PDT.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are currently 1 in 292.2 million. It’s worth noting that the largest Powerball jackpot ever recorded was a staggering $2.04 billion, won by a single ticket sold in Altadena, California, back in 2022.
