The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $750 million for the upcoming drawing on Monday, August 25, 2025, following the August 23 drawing where no player matched all six numbers.

The current $750 million jackpot is notable as it ranks among the largest in Powerball history. The largest Powerball jackpot ever recorded was $2.04 billion, won in November 2022. The ongoing streak of no jackpot winners has contributed to the growing prize, which has increased by $57 million since the previous drawing on August 20, where the jackpot was $643 million.

To participate in Powerball, players must purchase a ticket for $2, selecting five numbers from a pool of 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Players can also opt for the Power Play feature for an additional $1, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings. Drawings occur three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million, while the overall odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 24.87.
