Powerball Jackpot Soars to $154 Million Ahead of Wednesday’s Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has reached an astounding $154 million for Wednesday’s drawing, fueled by the absence of a winner during Monday’s event. Players who successfully match all six numbers stand to claim a staggering one-time cash payment of $71.4 million.
Despite the elusive jackpot on Monday, a Wisconsin player managed to secure a $1 million prize, as reported by lottery officials. In an even more fortunate turn of events, a player from Oregon became the first Powerball jackpot winner of 2025, pocketing an impressive $328.5 million on January 18th.

Next Drawing and Ticket Purchasing Information
The next Powerball drawing is slated for Saturday, February 15th, at approximately 11 p.m. ET. To participate in the Powerball, simply purchase a ticket for $2 from designated locations such as convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores. In certain states, Powerball tickets are available for purchase online.
Once you have acquired your ticket, select six numbers. Five of these will be white balls ranging from 1 to 69, while the red Powerball will range from 1 to 26. Players can also add a "Power Play" option for an additional $1, which enhances the winnings for all non-jackpot prizes.
The "Power Play" multiplier has the potential to multiply winnings by the following factors: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
For those who prefer a more passive approach, the "Quick Pick" option is available, where computer-generated numbers are printed directly onto a Powerball ticket.
Jackpot Winning Requirements and Drawing Schedule
Securing the Powerball jackpot demands matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball. Powerball drawings are conducted on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. Notably, if no one claims the jackpot, the cash prize continues to escalate.
