Powerball winning numbers for June 7 drawing: Jackpot rises to $45 million Show Caption Hide Caption Odds of winning the Powerball and Mega Millions are NOT in your favor Odds of hitting the jackpot in Mega Millions or Powerball are around 1-in-292 million. Here are things that you're more likely to land than big bucks. The Powerball jackpot rose to $45 million for the Saturday, June 7, drawing after no one won the top prize on Wednesday, June 4. If someone matches all five numbers and the Powerball on Saturday, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $20.2 million. There have been four Powerball jackpot winners in 2025, most recently on May 31, when a person in California won the $204.5 million prize. A lucky player in Oregon had the first jackpot-winning Powerball ticket of 2025, netting $328.5 million on Jan. 18. A second jackpot winner matched all six Powerball numbers on March 29, winning $527 million. A third jackpot winner from Kentucky won the $167.3 million prize on April 26.

But one person in Oregon won the Match 5 $1 million prize To find the full list of previous Powerball winners, click the link to the lottery's website. When is the next Powerball drawing? The next drawing will take place on Monday, June 9, just after 11 p.m. ET. How to play the Powerball To play the Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or even grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online. Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a 'Power Play' for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The 'Power Play' multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X. If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the 'Quick Pick' option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball. Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to tick up. Where to buy lottery tickets Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores.
