UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has surged to an astounding $629 million following no winners from Wednesday’s $593 million drawing. This escalating prize inches closer to entering the top ten largest jackpots in Powerball history, creating a buzz among lottery enthusiasts.
The jackpot has been climbing since the last grand prize winners in September, when two lucky tickets sold in Missouri and Texas claimed a record-breaking $1.8 billion prize. This win marked one of the largest lottery victories in U.S. history and has now set the stage for an exciting night ahead.
The latest numbers drawn on Saturday, November 22, 2025, were 28-32-36-51-69, with the Powerball number being 2 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x. Players are urged to check their tickets as anticipation builds for this life-changing prize.

This surge in Powerball’s jackpot comes amid a recent win for the competing Mega Millions game, which ended a lengthy drought with a ticket sold in Newnan, Georgia worth nearly a billion dollars. The lottery landscape is heating up, with players eager for their chance at life-changing sums.
