The Powerball drawing on Saturday, August 30, 2025, created a historic moment as the jackpot surged to $1 billion. It became the largest lottery prize of the year and one of the biggest in Powerball history. Millions of tickets were sold across the U.S., but no one matched all six numbers. As a result, the jackpot rolled over, making the next Powerball drawing even more anticipated.
The Powerball drawing is a U.S. lottery event held three times weekly where five white balls (1–69) and one red Powerball (1–26) are drawn. Matching all six wins the jackpot, while smaller matches earn lower prizes.
