Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $444 Million Ahead of Drawing

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Powerball jackpot continues to surge, reaching an estimated $444 million for the upcoming drawing on Saturday, March 22, 2025. With a cash option of approximately $209.2 million, lottery enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if they will become the next millionaire.

No ticket matched all six numbers in the last drawing, which was held on Jan. 18. The winning numbers for that drawing were 6, 7, 25, 46, 57, with the Powerball being 12 and a Power Play multiplier of 3X.

The lottery drawing takes place three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. Each Powerball ticket costs $2, and players can opt for an additional $1 to add the Power Play feature, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes. For those feeling especially lucky, a further $1 can be spent to enter a separate Double Play drawing for a chance at additional prizes up to $10 million.

According to the Florida Lottery, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. However, players only need to match one number — the Powerball itself — to win a prize of $4. The rules state that players must match at least one of the five white balls plus the Powerball to secure the same minimum prize.

On the same night, the Mega Millions jackpot is growing, currently standing at $344 million, providing further excitement for lottery participants. The winning numbers from the last Mega Millions drawing were reported as 8, 11, 21, 49, 59, with the Mega Ball being 15 and a Megaplier of 2X.

As lottery players make their picks, many are drawn to the trend of “angel numbers,” which are viewed as sequences with spiritual significance, particularly among those believing in numerology. Each number holds a unique omen, impacting some players’ choices.

Experts urge players to gamble responsibly, reminding them that Powerball tickets can be purchased online or in-store at convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores across 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Powerball results will be posted shortly after the drawing, and fans are encouraged to check local media and Powerball’s official website for updates. Are you feeling lucky? Saturday night might just change your fortunes.
