Powerball Jackpot Climbs to Estimated $215 Million Amid Rolling Wins

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22, 2025 – The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $215 million for tonight’s drawing, with a cash option of $98.4 million, as no one matched all six numbers in the previous drawing.

The winning numbers for the drawing on February 22 are 7, 18, 22, 50, 65, and the Powerball is 15, with a Power Play of 2X. Players can win a prize by matching just the Powerball, worth $4, or by matching more numbers to increase their winnings.

Powerball drawings occur three times each week: on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, at approximately 10:59 p.m. EST. A ticket costs $2, while players can add the Power Play for an additional $1 for a chance to multiply non-jackpot winnings.

The last Powerball jackpot was claimed on January 18, 2025, with a single ticket sold in Oregon netting a staggering $328.5 million. The Mega Millions jackpot is also noteworthy, currently at $181 million, with a cash option of $82.7 million.

No one collected the jackpot during the last Powerball drawing on February 19, which resulted in the current increase. By comparison, a recent Mega Millions drawing yielded winning numbers of 1, 13, 28, 37, 46, with a Mega Ball of 10.

According to lottery officials, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. The current cash option for tonight’s drawing is expected to attract significant attention from hopeful players.

“The excitement grows every day we see the jackpot increase,” said Chris Sims, a digital content producer at Midwest Connect Gannett. “While the chances of winning are slim, everyone’s dreams of becoming a millionaire are alive with every ticket.”

Ticket sales in states participate until close to drawing times, with several states, including New York and New Jersey, setting sales deadlines at 10 p.m. and 9:45 p.m., respectively.

After tonight, the next Powerball drawing will take place on Monday, February 24, 2025, giving players another opportunity to try for the jackpot. Players are reminded to play responsibly and remain aware of the risks associated with gambling.
