Lottery players chased a massive $1 billion jackpot in the Powerball drawing on Saturday, December 13, 2025. No ticket matched all six numbers. The grand prize now rolls over to an estimated $1.1 billion for the next drawing on Monday, December 15 – one of the largest in Powerball history.
The winning numbers drawn were white balls 1, 28, 31, 57, 58 and the red Powerball 16. The Power Play multiplier hit 2x.
Players scored big on lower tiers. Several tickets matched five white balls for $1 million prizes. Two winners in North Carolina and Pennsylvania claimed $2 million each thanks to the Power Play.
