Ticket sales have now closed, and anticipation is at its peak. Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is the biggest of 2025 so far - an incredible $643 million, with a cash value of about $290.6 million.

If there’s a winner, they’ll face a life-changing decision: would you take the lump sum cash payout, or spread the full jackpot across 30 years of annuity payments? The cash option offers instant wealth but at a reduced amount, while the annuity provides long-term financial security (and potentially better tax management).

Which would you choose - cash or annuity - and why?

The excitement is building as tonight’s Powerball jackpot climbs to an eye-watering $643 million.

What You Need to Know About Powerball

Powerball is one of the most iconic lottery games in the United States. Draws take place three times a week - every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 plus one Powerball number from 1 to 26. To win the jackpot, you’ll need to match all six. But there are nine prize tiers in total, so there are plenty of chances to take home something even if you don’t land the top prize.

How to Win Powerball

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338, but smaller prizes are much easier to hit. For example, the odds of winning $4 by matching just the Powerball are 1 in 38. By adding the Power Play option for an extra $1 per play, non-jackpot prizes can be multiplied up to 10 times, boosting potential winnings.

Many jackpot winners have relied on Quick Picks, while others stick to their own regular sets of numbers. There’s no guaranteed system, but consistency and participation are key if you hope to land the life-changing top prize.

Big Powerball Winners in History

This isn’t the first time the jackpot has reached staggering heights. Here are some of the biggest Powerball wins to date:

$2.04 billion - November 2022: The largest jackpot in Powerball history, won by a single ticket in California.
$1.765 billion - October 2023: Another California winner claimed this enormous prize.
$1.586 billion - January 2016: A historic jackpot shared by winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee.

Every jackpot tells a story, and tonight, we’ll find out if another one is about to be written.
