US EditionPowerball Jackpot Jumps to $950 Million for Saturday
No ticket matched all six numbers on August 27, increasing the jackpot to an estimated $950 million, the sixth-largest in Powerball history, with sales doubling recently, officials said.
- The Powerball jackpot climbed to approximately $950 million for the drawing set for Saturday, August 30, 2025, following no jackpot winners in the previous Wednesday night’s contest.
- The jackpot grew due to the long drought since the last winner on May 31, 2025, combined with odds of 1 in 292.2 million that make winning extremely unlikely.
- The Powerball drawing on Wednesday featured the digits 9, 12, 22, 41, and 61, with a Powerball of 25 and a 4x PowerPlay multiplier, resulting in several prize winners of $1 million and $2 million spread across multiple states.
- The jackpot winner can choose between a 30-year annuity of $950 million or a lump sum of approximately $428.9 million before taxes, which can reduce the payout further due to federal and possible state taxes.
- This jackpot is the largest lottery prize in 2025 so far and could become the year's first billion-dollar jackpot if not won Saturday, highlighting ongoing public attention and sales driven by record jackpots.
