These players had purchased tickets with the optional multiplier activated, increasing their winnings from the original $1 million to $2 million. In addition, nine players from different states—including four from California, others from Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania—matched five numbers without the Power Play and won the $1 million prize.
This particular draw is the 40th consecutive time the jackpot was won since the last time it was won, which was on May 31, 2025. This long streak is a testament to the rarity of jackpot wins, especially considering that the record for the longest run without a winner was 42 consecutive draws, which took place in April 2024. That historic run concluded with a $1.326 billion jackpot won by a lucky ticket in Oregon, setting a new milestone for the game.
The ongoing jackpot round has kept players hooked and dreaming about what could be, especially as the prize approaches the one billion dollar mark. With each draw, the suspense grows, and the prospect of a life-changing win becomes more tempting. As Monday’s draw approaches, excitement is building, with many hopefuls envisioning their future as billionaires, and ready to take a chance on their lucky day.
A recent incident involving a Texas lottery winner has drawn attention to the disappointments associated with large jackpot prizes. The man, who was eagerly awaiting his $83 million prize, expressed deep disappointment and said, “My confidence has been greatly diminished.” The delay in receiving such a large sum has naturally been a cause of concern, highlighting the sometimes unpredictable nature of lottery processes and the importance of transparency and efficiency.
Powerball draws are held three times a week – Monday Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
The draws are held in Tallahassee, Florida and are available to the public via live streaming at Powerball.com. Fans and hopeful players across the country tune in regularly, dreaming of winning the jackpot that could change their lives forever.
Historically, Powerball has produced some of the biggest lottery jackpots in history. Notably, a $2.04 billion jackpot was won in California in November 2022, setting the record for the largest lottery prize ever. Just a few months later, in October 2023, California also won a $1.765 billion jackpot, further cementing its reputation as the state with the biggest wins in Powerball.
Currently, the jackpot amount has grown to an estimated $1.1 billion, bringing hope and excitement to players across the country. The combination of the huge jackpot and the regularity of the draws makes this lottery a popular and exciting activity for many. In the most recent Powerball draw, the winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the Powerball being 17 and the Power Play multiplier being 3X. Despite the excitement surrounding the event, no ticket matched all six numbers to claim the jackpot prize.
However, the game proved to be profitable for many players across the country.
Notably, three lucky tickets – one from Colorado, another from Indiana, and a third from New Hampshire – successfully matched all five white balls with the Power Play, each winning a prize of two million dollars. The Power Play multiplier of 3X increased their winnings significantly, making their tickets even more valuable. Additionally, nine other tickets managed to match all five white balls without the Power Play This draw once again showcased the thrill of playing Powerball, with many players winning impressive prizes, even though the jackpot went unclaimed this time around.
