The U.S. Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $950 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Wednesday, Aug. 27 drawing. The prize now ranks as the sixth-largest in Powerball’s history and is the biggest lottery pot offered so far in 2025. The numbers drawn were 9, 12, 22, 41 and 61, with the red Powerball 25 and a 4× Power Play. A winner in the next drawing could choose the full jackpot paid in 30 annual installments or a one-time cash option of about $428.9 million before taxes. The odds of claiming the top prize remain 1 in 292.2 million. While the jackpot rolled over, lottery officials said two tickets sold in Georgia and Texas each won $1 million for matching the five white balls. Additional $1 million winners were reported in Arizona and New York, and players in Mississippi, Ohio and Virginia collected $2 million apiece by adding the Power Play option. An online Illinois player secured a $50,000 prize. The pot has grown through 38 consecutive drawings without a grand-prize winner since a $207 million ticket was sold in California on May 31. If no one matches all six numbers in the next drawing—scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 30 at 11 p.m. Eastern—the jackpot could break the $1 billion mark, a threshold reached only a handful of times across U.S. lotteries.
