US EditionPowerball Ticket Sold In Arkansas Wins $1.82 Billion Jackpot
A single ticket sold in Arkansas won the $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. history and largest in 2025, after 47 drawings without a winner.
- A Powerball ticket sold in Arkansas on Wednesday night matched all six winning numbers in the Dec. 24, 2025 drawing to win an estimated $1.817 billion jackpot, officials said.
- After a record $2 ticket price, a long jackpot run and Power Play's $1 add-on fueled prize growth; drawings occur at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
- The official winning numbers were 4, 25, 31, 52, 59 with Powerball 19 and a 2x Power Play multiplier, while eight $1 million prize-winning tickets matched the five white balls.
- Following the win, the jackpot immediately reset to $20 million for the next drawing with a cash option of $9.2 million, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025.
- For Arkansas, the win is unusually rare as this marks only the second Powerball jackpot sold in the state, while the $1.817 billion prize ranks as the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot and attorney Andrew Stoltmann warns winners face legal disputes.
