UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to an astounding $930 million for the upcoming drawing scheduled for Wednesday, December 10, 2025. This massive prize has been accumulating since September 6, when two lucky tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a record-breaking $1.787 billion.
The odds of winning this life-changing jackpot stand at an incredible 1 in over 292 million, making each $2 ticket a gamble of epic proportions. With tickets available in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, excitement is building as players dream of what they could do with such a fortune.
Since its inception in 1992, Powerball has raised over $36 billion for various good causes supported by U.S. lotteries, significantly impacting local communities. More than half of all ticket sales revenue stays in the jurisdiction where the ticket was purchased, further enhancing local infrastructure and services.
As anticipation mounts, the New York Lottery continues to be a leader in lottery revenue, contributing $3.7 billion in Lottery Aid to Education for the fiscal year 2022-2023. This funding helps support education across New York, ensuring that larger, lower-income school districts receive the necessary funding to thrive.
Powerball drawings take place three times a week—on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Viewers can watch the live drawings on ABC 7 New York or stream them online. The Mega Millions drawings are also available on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. for those interested in more chances to win big.
The stakes have never been higher, and with the jackpot reaching such extraordinary heights, many are taking a chance on their dreams. Could you be the next big winner? As the clock ticks down to the drawing, now is the time to grab your ticket and join the excitement!
