The Powerball fever continues across the United States as the $1.1 billion jackpot — the sixth-largest in Powerball history — brought millions of players rushing to buy tickets on Monday, December 15, 2025.
Here are the official winning numbers for the December 15 drawing:

Did Anyone Win the Powerball Jackpot?
As of the latest update, two major winning tickets matched five white balls — one sold in Arizona and one in California — each earning $1 million.
However, no ticket matched all six numbers, meaning the $1.1 billion jackpot remains unclaimed and is expected to continue climbing.
How Big Was the Jackpot?
- Estimated Jackpot: $1.1 billion
- Cash Option: $503.4 million (before taxes)
- This jackpot marked 43 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner, breaking a Powerball record.

Frequent rollovers and record‑breaking participation have pushed jackpots into the billion‑dollar territory twice in 2025 alone.
The last jackpot hit happened in September, when Missouri and Texas shared $1.787 billion.
