The jackpot for Powerball has skyrocketed to $719 million after no grand-prize winner emerged in the Wednesday, November 26, 2025 drawing. The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday, November 29, giving hopeful ticket buyers one more shot at what’s now one of the largest jackpots of the year.
Wednesday’s Results: No Jackpot Winner
Winning numbers (Nov 26 drawing): 7, 8, 15, 19, 28, and Powerball 3.
Power Play multiplier was 3×.
Four players — in California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina — matched all five white balls (but missed the Powerball) and each secured $1 million.
With no jackpot winner, the top prize rolled over — driving the pot higher for Saturday’s drawing.
What a $719 Million Jackpot Means
The estimated annuity value: $719 million
The lump-sum cash option (before taxes): about $333.3 million
The winner can choose either option. If they opt for annuity, they receive one payment immediately followed by 29 annual installments.
Prize Breakdown & Odds
The chances of winning the jackpot remain long: 1 in 292.2 million.
The odds of winning any prize: roughly 1 in 24.9.
There are nine prize tiers, ranging from $4 for matching only the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five white balls.
What This Means for Players & States
For players:
The huge jackpot naturally drives ticket sales, as millions of people hunt for their shot at life-changing money. But experts caution players to act responsibly — these draws are games of chance, not financial plans.
For states:
Rising ticket sales generate significant revenue for participating states. Historically, much of that funding supports public projects: education, infrastructure, and social services. In high-jackpot years, the impact of ticket sales can be especially large.
Saturday’s Drawing
Next draw: Saturday, November 29, 2025
Estimated Jackpot: $719 million (annuity) / ~$333.3 million (cash)
Ticket price: $2 per play; adding the optional Power Play costs an extra $1.
If you decide to play, know the odds, manage your budget, and enjoy the anticipation — but don’t count on the jackpot.
