The latest lottery Powerball jackpot is estimated at $570 million annuity, with a cash-option value of about $266.9 million, heading into the Monday, November 17, 2025 drawing.
What’s going on with the jackpot?
- In the most recent draw on Saturday, November 15, 2025, the winning numbers were 6-7-12-47-53 and Powerball 21. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over.
- Because no one won the grand prize, the jackpot continued to increase, reaching the current estimate for the next drawing.
- The game is played across 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
How the payout options work
- A jackpot winner can choose a 30-year annuity (the advertised jackpot) paid in annual installments.
- Or the winner may take a one-time lump sum (the cash option), which is lower—about $266.9 million for this drawing.
- The ticket cost is $2 per play.
- To win the top prize, a player must match five white balls (from a pool of 1-69) plus the red Powerball (1-26).
- The odds of winning the jackpot: roughly 1 in 292 million.
Why this matters
- Because the jackpot keeps growing as long as no one hits the top prize, elevated estimates draw more attention and higher ticket sales.
- Even though odds remain extremely long, players still have a chance at hundreds of millions of dollars—hence the surge in interest.
- Minor-prize tiers (matching fewer numbers) exist in many states, but the vast majority of the prize pool builds in the jackpot itself.
What to watch for next
- Check for the Monday, November 17 drawing results to see if the jackpot is claimed.
- If unclaimed again, the jackpot will likely roll over and increase further for the next drawing.
- Keep an eye on your local state lottery’s postings for exact cash-value amounts, ticket-sales cut-offs, and winner information.
