Saturday night’s December 20, 2025 drawing saw the winning numbers emerge as 4, 5, 28, 52, and 69, with the red Powerball drawn as 20. The Power Play multiplier was 3x. Unfortunately, no ticket matched all six numbers to win the grand prize.
However, happiness came for other prize tiers. Four lucky tickets sold across seven different states matched the first five white balls, each winning $1 million. Additional prizes were distributed across lower prize tiers, with approximately one in 24.87 players winning some level of prize.
| Prize Tier | Numbers Matched | Approximate Prize | Odds |
| Jackpot | 5 + Powerball | $1,600,000,000 | 1 in 292.2M |
| Second Prize | 5 (no Powerball) | $1,000,000 | 1 in 11.7M |
| Third Prize | 4 + Powerball | $50,000 | 1 in 913K |
| Any Prize | Matching any combination | $4 to jackpot | 1 in 24.87 |
Understanding Your Chances of Winning Monday’s Record Jackpot
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot stand at approximately 1 in 292.2 million. This means even with millions of tickets sold nationwide, the probability remains incredibly slim. Players who match five white balls without the Powerball win $1 million, with odds of roughly 1 in 11.7 million.
Despite the daunting odds, lottery officials note that overall prize odds are much more favorable at 1 in 24.87. This includes all winning combinations from matching just the Powerball alone up to matching all six numbers. Many players win smaller prizes that cover their ticket cost or slightly more.
“To win the full jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order, plus the red Powerball. Once you buy a ticket, you’ll pick six numbers.”
