Powerball Soars to $320 Million After Wednesday’s Drawing Yields No Jackpot Winner
(October 23, 2025) – The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $320 million, with a cash option of $152.2 million, after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing. The winning numbers for October 22nd were 18, 37, 52, 54, 60, and the Powerball was 12. The Power Play was 2X.
Lottery officials are urging players to check their tickets carefully, as even matching just the Powerball number can result in a $4 prize. Higher prize tiers exist for matching more numbers.
While the Powerball jackpot remains elusive, players still have a chance to win big this week. The Mega Millions jackpot has also swelled, reaching an estimated $680 million with a cash option of $318.2 million for Friday’s drawing after no one won Tuesday’s drawing.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets cost $2 each, with the option to add Power Play for an additional $1 for a chance to multiply winnings (excluding the jackpot). Players can also add the Double Play for an additional $1 to have a second chance at winning $10 million.
