US EditionPowerball Prize Climbs to $1 Billion After 40 Winnerless Drawings
No ticket matched all six numbers in the Dec. 10 drawing, causing the jackpot to roll over to $1 billion with three $1 million prizes awarded, officials said.
- On Dec 11, 2025, Powerball officials said the jackpot climbed to an estimated $1 billion after no ticket matched Wednesday's Dec. 10 drawing, extending the roll to a 41‑drawing winless streak.
- Months of rollovers following the Sept. 6 payout drove the climb after two tickets split a $1.787 billion jackpot sold in Missouri and Texas.
- Numbers drawn were 10, 16, 29, 33 and 69 with Powerball 22 and Power Play 3X, and three $1 million tickets were sold in Maryland, Michigan and New Jersey.
- The next drawing will be held at 10:59 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13; the lump‑sum $461.3 million would drop to about $351 million after mandatory 24% federal withholding, while 30‑year annuity $33.3 million annual payments would fall to $21 million after the 37% federal marginal rate.
- By historical measure, this ranks among the game's largest jackpots as the seventh-largest prize, with players facing 1 in 292.2 million odds and Powerball generating more than $36 billion for good causes since 1992.
