Powerball Jackpot Soars to $438 Million: Winning Numbers Inside!

UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $438 million, with a cash option of $207 million for the drawing on November 5, 2025. This dramatic increase follows Monday’s drawing, which failed to produce a jackpot winner, leaving players eager for their chance at life-changing wealth.

The jackpot has been climbing since September, when two lucky tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split an astounding $1.8 billion prize, marking one of the largest lottery wins in U.S. history. As excitement builds, Powerball approaches the half-billion mark, drawing attention away from the Mega Millions, which currently offers a staggering $843 million prize this Friday.

The winning numbers for tonight’s drawing are 9-17-29-61-66, with the Powerball being 26. The Power Play multiplier is 5, adding to the potential winnings for those who match the right numbers.

What are the chances of winning? The odds of snagging the Powerball jackpot stand at a daunting 1 in 292.2 million. However, players can still win smaller prizes—like the $1 million for matching all five white balls, which has odds of 1 in 11,688,053. Overall, the odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.87.

Powerball drawings take place live at 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, with tickets available for just $2 in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Powerball has a history of generating massive jackpots, with the top six wins all surpassing $1 billion. Notable milestones include:
– $2.04 billion on November 7, 2022 (CA)
– $1.8 billion on September 6, 2025 (MO, TX)
– $1.765 billion on October 11, 2023 (CA)

As this jackpot continues to rise, the anticipation is palpable. Players across the nation are eagerly checking their tickets and dreaming of what winning could mean for their futures. Will tonight be the night someone becomes a multi-millionaire? Stay tuned for the latest updates and results!
