For lottery enthusiasts across the United States, Saturday, December 13, 2025, proved to be another day full of anticipation, hope, and—perhaps for a lucky few—a life-changing moment. Major lotteries from coast to coast unveiled their latest winning numbers, spanning everything from the Powerball juggernaut to a host of local favorites, each with its own set of rules, traditions, and devoted players. Here’s a comprehensive look at the results, schedules, and the unique flavors of lottery culture in several states, all drawn from the latest official sources.
Let’s start with the headline event: Powerball. According to the Ohio Lottery, the winning numbers for the December 13, 2025, Powerball draw were 01-28-31-57-58, with the Powerball number 16 and a Power Play of 2. This same winning combination echoed across multiple states, including California, Colorado, Washington, Rhode Island, and Louisiana, as each jurisdiction participates in the national Powerball pool. The California Lottery confirmed, “The Powerball numbers for December 13 were 01-28-31-57-58, Powerball: 16, Power Play: 2.” The universality of these numbers highlights just how interconnected the lottery world has become, with millions tuning in for the live draw on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings.
But Powerball was only the beginning. In Ohio, players also had a shot at several local games. The Pick 3 Midday numbers were 1-0-9, while the Evening draw produced 2-0-8. Pick 4’s Midday and Evening numbers came up 6-5-9-7 and 2-0-0-4, respectively. For those who prefer more digits, Pick 5’s Midday draw landed on 4-5-2-4-5, with the Evening numbers at 1-3-9-6-8. Rolling Cash 5, another Ohio favorite, delivered 02-05-17-19-38, and the Classic Lotto numbers were 09-18-27-38-39-47, with a Kicker of 0-2-8-1-3-5. The multi-state Lucky For Life game, also played in Ohio, drew 12-18-19-24-35, Lucky Ball: 17. As the Ohio Lottery notes, “Powerball drawings are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.,” while Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 are drawn daily at 12:29 p.m. and 7:29 p.m., except for Saturday evenings.

The Mississippi Match 5 numbers for December 13 were 04-09-11-23-35, while the Cash 3 Midday result was 6-7-0 (FB: 4) and Evening was 4-3-9 (FB: 5). Cash 4 Midday yielded 3-1-6-2 (FB: 4), and Evening was 8-7-3-9 (FB: 5). For those who enjoy the simplicity of a single number, Cash Pop’s Midday and Evening draws both landed on 15.

In Colorado, the draw results mirrored the national Powerball numbers, but with local twists. The Colorado Lottery also hosted the Powerball Double Play, which produced 07-11-20-52-60, Powerball: 24. Pick 3 Midday was 4-3-5, and Evening was 5-8-5. Cash 5’s winning numbers were 01-09-21-24-25, while Lucky For Life matched Ohio’s draw. Colorado Lotto+ offered up 05-09-17-26-30-37, with Plus Numbers at 06-07-12-17-18-35. The state’s lottery tickets are widely available at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even some airport terminals.

California’s lottery scene was equally bustling. Alongside the Powerball draw, the Daily 3 Midday numbers were 2-0-0, and the Evening numbers were 2-9-2. The Daily Derby, a unique horse-racing-themed game, saw 2 Lucky Star take first, 11 Money Bags second, and 7 Eureka third, with a race time of 1:44.41. Fantasy 5 delivered 02-03-22-24-32, Daily 4 was 9-6-0-4, and SuperLotto Plus came in with 07-16-17-33-35, Mega Ball: 21. As the California Lottery reminds players, “Feeling lucky?

Washington’s lottery offered a diverse lineup as well. Beyond Powerball, Cash Pop’s number was 15, Pick 3 was 2-9-0, Match 4 was 01-11-16-17, and Hit 5 landed on 05-07-26-32-34.

Lotto’s winning numbers were 05-16-17-24-37-41, and Powerball Double Play matched Colorado’s result. Drawings for most games occur daily at 8 p.m. PT, while Powerball is held at 7:59 p.m. PT on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. According to the Washington Lottery, “All retailers can redeem prizes up to $600. For larger prizes, winners can claim by mail or in person at regional offices.”
Rhode Island’s lottery fans saw the Powerball numbers repeat, with Lucky For Life again drawing 12-18-19-24-35, Lucky Ball: 17. The Numbers game, a local staple, produced Midday numbers 5-9-2-6 and Evening numbers 8-3-4-9. Wild Money’s draw was 05-06-07-25-33, with an Extra of 12. Winners of less than $600 can claim at any retailer, while larger prizes require a trip to Lottery Headquarters in Cranston. According to the RI Lottery, “Mega Millions and Powerball jackpot winners can decide on cash or annuity payment within 60 days after becoming entitled to the prize.” Lucky For Life winners can opt for $1,000 a day for life or a lump sum payment.
Louisiana’s lottery offered Powerball, Pick 3 (7-6-4), Pick 4 (6-7-1-3), Pick 5 (4-7-2-8-3), Easy 5 (05-11-13-16-37), and Lotto (19-20-25-27-31-34). Prizes up to $600 can be redeemed at any retailer, while larger amounts must be claimed at the Lottery office in Baton Rouge, which is open weekdays. As the Louisiana Lottery advises, “Prizes over $5,000 must be claimed at Lottery office.”
Across all these states, the rituals of checking numbers, dreaming of sudden wealth, and navigating the prize-claiming process remain remarkably similar—even as each region adds its own flavor. Whether it’s the horse-racing flair of California’s Daily Derby or the straightforward draw of Mississippi’s Cash Pop, the lottery continues to capture imaginations nationwide. For many, the hope is not just in the numbers, but in the anticipation, the shared excitement, and the ever-present question: could today be the day?
