Powerball Reaches Nearly $1 Billion After Wednesday Drawing; Mega Millions Also Climbs

Hopes of a holiday windfall have ballooned as the Powerball jackpot surges to an estimated $930 million for the Monday, December 10, 2025 drawing. No ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing, sending the already substantial prize soaring. The cash option for Monday’s jackpot is estimated at $429.0 million.

The winning numbers for Wednesday, December 10, were 10, 16, 29, 33, 69 with a Powerball of 22. The Power Play was 3x. Results are pending. Double Play numbers are pending.

While the big prize remains unclaimed, Powerball players are encouraged to check their tickets, as even matching the Powerball number can win a $4 prize. A single ticket costs $2, with options to add Power Play for $1 to multiply winnings or Double Play for $1 for a second chance at winning $10 million.

The climbing Powerball jackpot coincides with an increase in the Mega Millions jackpot as well. After Tuesday night’s drawing produced no grand prize winner, the Mega Millions jackpot for Friday night’s drawing has risen to an estimated $70 million with a cash option of $32.0 million. The winning numbers were 19, 32, 41, 49, 66, and the Mega Ball was 6.
