URGENT UPDATE: The Powerball jackpot is now an astounding $930 million for the upcoming drawing on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. This massive prize has been accumulating since September 6, when two winning tickets from Missouri and Texas split a record-breaking $1.787 billion.
The odds of winning this life-changing jackpot stand at a staggering 1 in over 292 million. Powerball tickets are priced at just $2 each, and they can be purchased across 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
This jackpot not only excites players but also contributes significantly to local communities. More than half of every ticket sold remains in the jurisdiction where it was purchased, helping to fund various local initiatives. Since its inception in 1992, Powerball has generated over $36 billion for charitable causes supported by U.S. lotteries.
Powerball has seen several record-breaking jackpots, including the top three largest: $2.04 billion in November 2022 in California, $1.787 billion in September 2025, and $1.765 billion in October 2023, also in California. These extraordinary payouts highlight the excitement surrounding this game.
The New York Lottery, known for being North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, reported contributing $3.7 billion in Lottery Aid to Education for the fiscal year 2022-2023. Funds generated from ticket sales are distributed to local school districts, ensuring that aid is directed where it is needed most.
“Powerball continues to be a vital source of funding for education, impacting communities across New York State,” said a spokesperson for the New York Lottery.
