Record-breaking Powerball jackpot soars to an estimated $1.1 billion following no victor on Saturday night
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated value of over $1 billion, making it the fifth-largest in the game's history. No one has won the Powerball jackpot since May 31, and the excitement is building as the draw approaches on Monday, June 6.
The Powerball draw takes place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights, and tickets cost $2 each. If won, the jackpot payments would be spread over 30 years, or a winner could choose an immediate lump sum of an estimated $498.4 million before taxes.
The current jackpot draw is on Monday, June 6, and the numbers drawn on Saturday for the Powerball were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the Powerball being 17. Despite these numbers not producing a jackpot winner, the anticipation for the upcoming draw continues to grow.
The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers remain 1 in 292.2 million, which is greater than the likelihood of getting struck by lightning. However, the large number of people buying tickets for a chance at life-changing wealth ensures that someone eventually wins the Powerball jackpot.
Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game has a history of past jackpots, with the largest jackpot ever won being $1.586 billion in January 2016.
On Monday, August 16, 2025, the estimated jackpot was about $579 million, but there were no grand prize winners that day. The Powerball draw takes place on Monday nights, and although no one won the jackpot on that day, the excitement for the upcoming draws remains high.
Whether you choose to play or not, the Powerball jackpot of over $1 billion is a reminder of the potential for life-changing wealth and the excitement that comes with it. Good luck to all the players!
