For the second consecutive drawing, the Powerball jackpot remained unclaimed as zero tickets matched all six winning numbers on Monday, December 15, 2025. The winning numbers were 23, 35, 59, 63, and 68, with a Powerball of 2 and a Power Play multiplier of 4x.
The lack of a grand prize winner triggered an automatic rollover, pushing the jackpot to an impressive $1.15 billion for Wednesday’s drawing on December 17. This marks the second time in 2025 that Powerball has exceeded the $1 billion mark, with the previous massive draw occurring in September.

Saturday’s $1 Million Winners Across Multiple States
Although Saturday’s December 13 drawing also failed to produce a jackpot winner, it generated significant excitement with seven tickets matching all five white numbers, each worth $1 million. These winning tickets were sold across multiple states, including at least one in Florida.
The Saturday drawing numbers were 1, 28, 31, 57, and 58, with a Powerball of 16. Winners who matched four numbers plus the Powerball or three numbers plus the Powerball also claimed secondary prizes ranging from $100 to $50,000.
Florida’s Million-Dollar Ticket Sold at Clearwater Publix
| Location Detail | Information |
| Store Location | Publix Super Market, Clearwater, FL |
| Address | 525 S. Belcher Road, Clearwater |
| Winning Amount | $1,000,000 |
| Numbers Matched | Five white numbers (1, 28, 31, 57, 58) |
| Drawing Date | Saturday, December 13, 2025 |
One of the seven $1 million winning tickets from Saturday’s drawing was purchased at a Publix Super Market located at 525 South Belcher Road in Clearwater. This outlet has become a notable retailer for significant lottery wins in the region, as Publix stores continue to sell major winning tickets across Florida.
The Clearwater winner matched all five white ball numbers but missed the red Powerball, claiming the $1 million prize. Under Florida lottery regulations, winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize.
How Much Is the Powerball Jackpot Growing Each Drawing?
The astronomical growth of the Powerball jackpot reflects a streak of consecutive non-winning drawings that began after the September 6, 2025 draw, when two winners in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion jackpot. Since then, the prize has rolled over dozens of times.
The December 13 drawing contributed $50 million to the jackpot, bringing it to $1.1 billion. Monday’s failed draw added another $50 million, surging it to $1.15 billion. Each consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner adds millions more, making Wednesday’s draw even more lucrative.
For perspective, a $1.15 billion Powerball represents America’s largest lottery prize in many months, surpassing most previous 2025 jackpots except the September record winner.
What Happens If Wednesday’s Drawing Also Has No Winner?
Should Wednesday, December 17’s drawing fail to produce a grand prize winner, the jackpot will continue climbing toward $1.25 billion or higher. Lottery officials note that each additional rollover increases public interest and participation.
The probability of winning the Powerball jackpot remains constant at 1 in 292.2 million, regardless of the prize amount. However, the allure of a multi-billion-dollar payout typically drives ticket sales exponentially higher as the jackpot grows, which paradoxically can sometimes increase the likelihood of sharing a jackpot among multiple winners.
Winners choosing the lump sum cash option on a $1.15 billion jackpot would receive approximately $524.7 million before federal and state taxes. Florida does not tax lottery winnings, making it an attractive location for winners seeking to maximize their take-home prize.
