Winning numbers announced for estimated $1 billion Powerball jackpot



The winning numbers for an estimated $1 billion Powerball jackpot — the seventh-largest in the lottery game’s history — were announced Saturday night. They are 1, 28, 31, 57 and 58, with a Powerball of 16.

This is the second Powerball jackpot to reach $1 billion in 2025 after no ticket matched all six numbers in a drawing earlier in the week. The possible winner or winners will get to choose between an annuitized prize estimated at $1 billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $461.3 million before taxes.

It was not immediately known if there were any winners of Saturday’s jackpot.

In September, the $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot was split between two tickets purchased in Missouri and Texas. Powerball tickets are $2 and are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain extremely low.  Powerball increased its number of white balls from 59 to 69 in 2015, and its number of red balls decreased from 35 to 26.  The Multi-State Lottery Association said the jackpot odds became steeper after the redesign, shifting from 1 in 175.2 million to 1 in 292.2 million.
