The Powerball lottery jackpot for the drawing on December 10, 2025, has reached an estimated $930 million, with a cash option of $429 million. This considerable jackpot marks it as the seventh largest in Powerball history and the 15th largest among U.S. lottery jackpots overall. The last Powerball jackpot was won on September 6, 2025, by two players from Missouri and Texas, who shared a staggering $1.787 billion prize, making it the second largest jackpot ever recorded.
As the draw date approaches, excitement builds around the possibility of winning. Alongside Powerball, the Mega Millions lottery is also active, currently offering a jackpot of $70 million with a cash option of $32 million.
For players eagerly anticipating the next numbers, the winning numbers drawn for the December 10 drawing were 10, 16, 29, 33, 69, and the Powerball number was 22. The Powerplay multiplier for this draw was set at 3x.
Individuals looking for tips to increase their luck often inquire about the most frequently drawn Powerball numbers, and many wonder when the next drawing will take place. Powerball drawings are scheduled for three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET, with Monday drawings being introduced in 2021.
Potential players should be aware that ticket purchase deadlines differ across states. In New Jersey, for instance, the cutoff is at 9:59 p.m. on drawing days, while in New York, it’s 10 p.m. This makes it crucial for ticket buyers to check their state’s specific deadlines.
To participate in the Powerball, it costs $2 per ticket, with an optional Power Play add-on for an additional $1. This add-on can increase potential non-jackpot prizes by up to five times, except for the jackpot and the Match 5 tier. Conversely, if the jackpot is under $150 million, players are eligible for a 10x Power Play multiplier. Each ticket permits players to select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 69, plus one Powerball number from 1 to 26; alternatively, quick pick options are available, where numbers are randomly generated by a computer.
Powerball tickets can be purchased in person at various retailers, including gas stations and grocery stores, as well as online through certified services like Jackpocket in select states. This app allows users to manage their lottery entries digitally, enhancing convenience for those looking to participate.
Prospective winners should note the odds of securing the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292 million, while the chance of matching all five white balls stands at about 1 in 11.6 million. In many states, winning lottery results are public records; however, certain jurisdictions, like New Jersey, allow winners to claim their prizes anonymously.
In light of the current excitement surrounding the $930 million jackpot, lottery enthusiasts are reminded to play responsibly and be wary of potential scams targeting hopeful winners. As always, assistance for gambling-related issues can be obtained by reaching out to dedicated support services.
