The Powerball jackpot for Saturday’s lottery drawing has reached an estimated $444 million, with a cash option of $209.2 million.
The numbers drawn on March 22, 2025, were 6, 7, 25, 46, 57, with the Powerball being 12, and a Power Play multiplier of 3x.
This massive jackpot marks a significant rise from the previous drawing held on March 19, 2025, when no tickets matched all six numbers for the previous jackpot, which was worth $416 million.
Interestingly, the last jackpot won was on January 18, 2025, in Oregon, where a single ticket holder walked away with a life-changing $331 million prize.
The urgency to check your tickets is palpable, as players nationwide have their hopes pinned on becoming the next millionaire. The $444 million jackpot is a tantalizing prize, especially considering that $2 tickets can be purchased at multiple points, both in-store and online at various lottery retailers.
Those planning to join in on the lottery excitement should note that no one matched all numbers in the March 19 drawing, which has allowed the jackpot to swell significantly. The Powerball is held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, creating a thrilling environment where players can watch as their dreams of hitting the jackpot become a potential reality.
For anyone looking to take a chance, tickets can be bought traditionally at stores or through online platforms until the designated cutoff times, which vary by state. For example, in Michigan, sales cease at 9:45 p.m. on the night of a drawing.
What’s more, players can opt for the Power Play feature for an additional $1, enhancing their chances for larger, non-jackpot winnings by multiplying their payouts up to 10 times, depending on the multiplier drawn.
The competition is fierce, with the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot resting firmly at 1 in 292.2 million. But with stakes like these, even matching the Powerball itself can yield a respectable $4 prize, enough to keep the spirit alive for players.
As the Powerball reaches new heights, many reminisce about the largest jackpots in the game’s history, including a staggering $2.04 billion won on November 7, 2022, and a recent $1.765 billion on October 11, 2023, which essentially have generated an enduring allure around the lottery system.
