Latest Drawing Results
The December 15, 2025, Powerball drawing produced winning numbers 19-22-30-32-59, Powerball 1, and Power Play 2x. This aligned with an estimated jackpot of over $1.1 billion, one of the largest in history.
A standout ticket from a Florida Publix reportedly matched every number via quick pick, potentially claiming the full prize. No immediate jackpot winner announcements followed, but lower-tier prizes were awarded nationwide, including $1 million Match 5 wins.
Excitement peaked as players scanned tickets, with media coverage amplifying the story from CBS News and USA Today reports on the buildup.
