Powerball Jackpot Reaches $1.5 Billion After Record 44-Drawing Losing Streak

The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $1.5 billion following Wednesday night’s drawing that produced no grand prize winner. The winning numbers were 25, 33, 53, 62, 66, and red Powerball 17. This marks the 44th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner, creating Powerball’s longest losing streak in history. Saturday’s prize would become 2025’s second-largest jackpot, trailing only the $1.79 billion won September 6 in Missouri and Texas. The cash option stands at $686.5 million before taxes. Players face odds of 1 in 292.2 million to win the top prize by matching all five white balls and the red Powerball. (Story URL)
