he Powerball drawing held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, once again ended without a jackpot winner, lottery officials confirmed on Sunday morning. The highly anticipated draw offered players an estimated grand prize of $344 million, with a cash value of $164 million. The official winning numbers were 2, 12, 22, 39, 67, and the Powerball was 15, with a 2× Power Play multiplier. While no one took home the life-changing jackpot, millions of tickets across the United States secured smaller prizes as the weekend’s Powerball excitement continued to build.
The October 25 Powerball draw attracted players nationwide across 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The draw took place at the Florida Lottery’s studio in Tallahassee, where the five white balls and one red Powerball were selected live.
Winning numbers: 2, 12, 22, 39, 67
Powerball: 15
Power Play multiplier: 2×
Jackpot estimate: $344 million ($164 million cash value)
The previous draw, held on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, produced the numbers 18, 37, 52, 54, 60, with a Powerball of 12 and the same 2× Power Play. That drawing also failed to produce a grand prize winner, resulting in yet another jackpot rollover.
According to Powerball’s official statistics, the odds of winning the jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million, emphasizing the game’s extreme difficulty but also explaining the massive jackpots that accumulate over consecutive rollovers.
Quotes and Reactions
Lottery officials confirmed that no ticket matched all six numbers in the October 25 draw.
“We had an exciting drawing, but unfortunately, there were no jackpot winners this time,” said Jane Martinez, a spokesperson for the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). “Rollovers are what make Powerball so thrilling—each draw without a winner builds more excitement and anticipation for the next.”
Lottery analyst Michael Greene added, “The $300 million threshold is often when casual players start joining in. That psychological milestone drives ticket sales exponentially, creating even larger prizes down the line. If there’s still no winner by midweek, we could see the jackpot nearing $400 million.” Retailers across several states reported a noticeable increase in weekend ticket sales as hopeful participants rushed to play before the Saturday cutoff.
What This Means for Players
With no jackpot winner, the Powerball grand prize will continue to grow, potentially approaching record-breaking levels if another rollover occurs on Wednesday, October 29, 2025. Even though the top prize remains elusive, thousands of players still won smaller amounts, with prizes ranging from $4 to $2 million, depending on how many numbers were matched and whether they opted for the Power Play multiplier.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the Powerball prize tiers:
Match 5 + Powerball: Jackpot
Match 5 only: $1 million (or $2 million with Power Play)
Match 4 + Powerball: $50,000 (or $100,000 with Power Play)
Match 4 only: $100 (or $200 with Power Play)
Match 3 + Powerball: $100 (or $200 with Power Play)
Match 3 only: $7 (or $14 with Power Play)
Match 2 + Powerball: $7 (or $14 with Power Play)
Match 1 + Powerball: $4 (or $8 with Power Play)
Powerball only: $4 (or $8 with Power Play)
Officials have urged all players to check their tickets carefully, as secondary prizes can be substantial and must be claimed within the state’s claim period—ranging from 90 days to one year, depending on local laws. Players are also encouraged to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchase to prevent theft or loss issues.
Why the Jackpot Keeps Growing
Powerball’s jackpot increases whenever there’s no grand prize winner. A portion of ticket sales is added to the prize pool, creating the large rollovers that fuel national excitement. The game’s structure—five white balls from a set of 69 and one red Powerball from a set of 26—means the probability of hitting all six is remarkably small, but that rarity keeps players chasing the dream.
“The Powerball phenomenon is as much about entertainment and community buzz as it is about winning,” Greene added. “It brings people together with the shared hope of hitting it big, even if most know the odds are against them.”
Upcoming Drawings and Announcements
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. ET. If no winning ticket is drawn then, the jackpot could surge past $380 million, depending on ticket sales volume. Players can purchase tickets up to 10 p.m. local time on the night of the draw. Results are broadcast live and updated on the official Powerball website and through state lottery outlets shortly after the drawing concludes. As excitement builds, officials remind players to play responsibly and set limits. “It’s fun to dream big, but remember that Powerball should always be enjoyed responsibly,” Martinez said.
