The jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday night has soared to an estimated $1.25 billion, the sixth largest ever.

Power Play can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times, per Powerball rules. The multiplier number is randomly selected before each drawing, and the 10X multiplier only happens when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less. Powerball tickets cost $2 per play.

The next Powerball drawing now is at $1.5 billion — the 5th-largest jackpot in the game's history. See how late you can buy tickets.

Power Play: For an added $1 per play, you can win $2 million by matching five white balls or increase non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X. If the jackpot is $150 million or lower, a 10X multiplier is included. Select five numbers between 1 and 69 for the white balls, then select one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball.

Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, Powerball was $1.5 billion while Florida Lotto jackpot was $8 million. Will there be a winner around Hanukkah or Christmas?
