Today marks a monumental day in the world of Powerball as the lottery fever reached new heights with an estimated $1.25 billion jackpot up for grabs. The anticipation built throughout the week, culminating in the Wednesday, December 17, 2025, drawing. With millions of hopeful players across the United States, the excitement was palpable as everyone waited to see if they held the winning ticket.
The winning numbers for the Powerball were revealed to be 25, 33, 53, 62, 66, with a Powerball of 17 and a Power Play of 4x.
The grand prize of the drawing was an estimated $1.25 billion, making it the sixth-largest prize in the history of Powerball.
Following the announcement, the next question on everyone's mind was, "Did anyone win the $1.25 billion jackpot?" Unfortunately, the answer was no. No ticket matched all five white ball numbers and the Powerball, leaving the jackpot unclaimed. This means the prize pool will roll over, potentially setting the stage for an even larger jackpot in the next drawing.
For those who didn't win the top prize, there were still plenty of opportunities to win smaller prizes. The Powerball game offers nine different ways to win, ranging from matching just the Powerball to matching all five white ball numbers plus the Powerball.
For those who missed out on the drawing, it’s not too late to try your luck. Powerball tickets can be purchased online or at authorized retailers, and with the jackpot rolling over, the next drawing could be even more lucrative.
The anticipation and excitement around the Powerball continue to grow, with players eagerly awaiting the next big drawing. For now, the $1.25 billion jackpot remains unclaimed, leaving the door open for someone to become an instant billionaire in the future.
