**Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $248 Million After Saturday’s Drawing Yields No Winner**

**By Fernando Cervantes Jr., USA TODAY**

The Powerball jackpot is soaring to an estimated $248 million for the Monday, July 14 drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The cash option for Monday’s jackpot is $112.4 million.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 8, 16, 24, 33, 54, and the Powerball was 18. The Power Play was 2x. While the jackpot remained unclaimed, one lucky player in Wisconsin matched five numbers and the Power Play, winning $2 million, and another in Texas matched five numbers to win $1 million.

There have been four Powerball jackpot winners so far in 2025. The most recent win occurred on May 31, when a California resident won $204.5 million. Earlier this year, a player in Oregon snagged $328.5 million on Jan. 18. On March 29, a winning ticket was sold for $527 million. The fourth winner was from Kentucky, taking home the $167.3 million prize on April 26.

Tickets for Monday’s drawing, which takes place just after 11 p.m. ET, cost $2 and can be purchased at various retailers including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. In some states, online purchases are also available.

Players choose five white ball numbers (1-69) and one red Powerball number (1-26). A “Quick Pick” option allows for computer-generated numbers. For an additional $1, players can add a “Power Play” to potentially multiply non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

Tickets can also be ordered online in select states and territories through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network. These include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and West Virginia.
