Powerball Jackpot Surges to $142 Million Ahead of Monday Drawing

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $142 million after no players matched all six numbers in the previous drawing on Saturday, February 8, 2025. The drawing is scheduled for Monday night, February 10, at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET.

The winning numbers for the Monday drawing will be determined shortly after the official time, while the cash option currently stands at $65.8 million. Recent Powerball results indicated numbers 2, 17, 18, 29, 43, with the Powerball being 3 and the Power Play multiplier at 3X.

Despite the rising jackpot, no big winners were reported on Saturday, as none matched the jackpot or even the $2 million or $1 million prize tiers. The last significant win occurred on January 18 when a ticket purchased in Oregon secured a $1 million prize.

Powerball tickets cost $2 each, and players have the option to enhance their winnings with the Power Play feature for an additional $1, which allows for multiplication of non-jackpot prizes. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

The upcoming drawing follows a string of adjustments to the estimated jackpot, which is often recalibrated based on ticket sales. Lottery games like Powerball and Mega Millions draw large numbers of players, especially when jackpots soar into the hundreds of millions.

The next Powerball drawing will take place on Wednesday, February 12, at the same time. To keep track of potential winnings or claim prizes, players can visit state lottery websites for specific guidelines.

“Buying a ticket always comes with the excitement of potentially changing your life,” said Fernando Cervantes Jr., a trending news reporter for USA TODAY. “Participating in the Powerball can provide that thrill along with a chance at substantial monetary gain.”

Players can obtain Powerball tickets at numerous locations, including convenience stores and gas stations, and some states also offer online purchasing options.

As the jackpot continues to grow, many are left wondering if they will be the next big winner. With every drawing, the anticipation builds, leading to increased sales and heightened excitement in communities across the nation.
