Monday’s Winning Numbers

No jackpot winner this time, but the excitement keeps building as the prize grows.

Recent Powerball History Highlights

Powerball has been on a serious hot streak lately, with some massive wins making headlines:

• A $1.82 billion jackpot was won on December 24, 2025, with a ticket sold in Arkansas.

• That prize now ranks as the second-largest Powerball jackpot ever and the second-largest in U.S. lottery history.

• Earlier, two players split a $1.79 billion jackpot on September 6, with winning tickets sold in Missouri and Texas.

The biggest Powerball moment of all time still belongs to California, where one ticket claimed a record-breaking $2.04 billion jackpot on November 7, 2022.

Big Odds, Bigger Dreams

• The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot? 1 in 292.2 million

• Jackpots keep rolling over and growing until someone matches all five white balls plus the red Powerball

Powerball isn’t alone in the billion-dollar club either. Mega Millions has also crossed the billion mark multiple times, including its massive $1.603 billion win in Florida in August 2023.
