Did Anyone Win the Powerball Jackpot
No ticket matched all six numbers in the October 4, 2025, Powerball draw. This means there is no jackpot winner for Saturday night's draw, and the grand prize will increase to the next draw. The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, October 6, 2025, with an estimated jackpot of $207 million with a cash option around $96.9 million. Although no player won the jackpot, several players from states across the country won secondary prizes that included a $1 million winner who matched five white balls and smaller prizes attached to other matched combinations. Those who spent the extra dollar for the Power Play option had their non-jackpot prizes doubled because of the 2× multiplier
Powerball Prize Breakdown
There are nine different prize tiers in Powerball that allow players to win in a variety of ways. In order to win the jackpot, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. For fewer matched balls, there is still an opportunity to win smaller prizes.
- Match 5 + Powerball: Jackpot
- Match 5: $1 million (or $2 million with Power Play)
- Match 4 + Powerball: $50,000
- Match 4: $100
- Match 3 + Powerball: $100
- Match 3: $7
- Match 2 + Powerball: $7
- Match 1 + Powerball: $4
- Powerball only: $4
For an additional $1, the Power Play option can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, and, in some cases, 10× depending on the draw.
Powerball Payout Options
If you are lucky enough to hit the jackpot, you can decide to be paid using one of two methods:
- Lump Sum (Cash): You get your winnings paid immediately in a single payment (less taxes). Typically, the cash option provides about half of the advertised jackpot amount.
- Annuity Option: You receive your winnings in 30 annual payments that each increase by 5% every year. The annuity option provides a larger payout before taxes and stability since you have your winnings for a longer time.
There are benefits and challenges for both options so winners are encouraged to get finance advice prior to claiming.
