The Powerball jackpot rose to $65 million for the Wednesday, June 11 drawing after no one won the top prize on Monday, June 9. If someone matches all five numbers and the Powerball on Wednesday, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $29.2 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.
