As always, Powerball drawings take place at 11 p.m. EST every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, even on holidays. The excitement continues with each drawing, and there’s always a chance to win big.
For Saturday’s drawing, the winning numbers were: 
-
1-12-14-18-69
-
Powerball: 2
-
Power Play: 3x
If you have a ticket with these numbers, congratulations—you may have just won a life-changing sum! If not, don’t worry; the jackpot may roll over again, so your chance to win is far from over.
A Look Back at the Recent Draws
The Powerball jackpot had grown after no one claimed the top prize in the previous draw on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The winning numbers for that draw were 15-44-63-66-69, and the Powerball was 20 with a 2x Power Play.
Interestingly, one lucky ticket from Pennsylvania matched five numbers, earning a $1 million prize.
Powerball Jackpot History
The current $168 million prize comes after a long stretch without a winner. The last major Powerball jackpot win was on Saturday, March 29, 2025, when a ticket purchased at a 7-11 store near Disneyland in Anaheim, California, hit the $515 million jackpot. This incredible win, boosted by final ticket sales, reached $526.5 million. That marked the end of a substantial rollover streak.
What Happens If You Win?
Powerball tickets cost $2 each, and winners of the grand prize have two options for how they receive their winnings: a lump sum payment or annual payments over 30 years. The lump sum, in this case, would be $77.6 million, before taxes.
If you purchased a ticket in Florida, keep in mind that you have 180 days from the drawing date to claim your prize.
What Happens to Unclaimed Prizes?
In cases where prizes go unclaimed, the prize money typically goes back into the lottery system, funding future jackpots and prizes.
Stay tuned for the next Powerball drawing, which takes place on Monday, April 28, 2025. Will there be another big winner, or will the jackpot continue to grow?
