Powerball jackpot rises to $479 million: Who won lottery jackpot last night? Lotto results, drawing time

The Powerball jackpot was at $479 million with a cash value of $219.4 million for Saturday night's drawing after no jackpot-winning ticket was sold for Wednesday's lottery. If someone matches all five numbers and the Powerball, they can choose a one-time cash payment of $219.4 million.

The Powerball lottery jackpot continues to grow after no one matched all six numbers from Wednesday night's drawing.

So far in 2025, four players have struck it rich with Powerball jackpots. The most recent win came on May 31, when a California ticket holder claimed $204.5 million.


The year kicked off with an Oregon player scooping up $328.5 million on Jan. 18. Then, on March 29, another lucky ticket matched all six numbers for a $527 million windfall. Just weeks later, on April 26, a Kentucky winner walked away with $167.3 million.

How many numbers in Powerball do you need to win a prize?

Technically you can win Powerball with just one number. If you hit on the Powerball number, you get a prize of $4. If you match one number plus the Powerball, you win $4. Match two numbers and the Powerball, and your prize is $7. You can also win $7 by matching three numbers without the Powerball—but add the Powerball to that and the payout jumps to $100.

Matching four numbers without the Powerball also earns you $100.

Now, here’s where it gets exciting: match four numbers plus the Powerball, and you take home $50,000. Match all five numbers without the Powerball for $1 million. And if you match all five numbers and the Powerball, you hit the grand prize jackpot.

How to play Powerball?

In order to play Powerball, first buy a ticket worth $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online.

Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes, according to USA Today.

The “Power Play” multiplier can boost your prize by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even a whopping 10X.

Not feeling lucky or just want to skip the guesswork? Go for the “Quick Pick” option, where the computer randomly selects your numbers and prints them on your Powerball ticket.

To hit the jackpot, you’ll need to match all five white balls in any order plus the red Powerball. Drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night. If nobody claims the top prize, the jackpot keeps climbing until someone does.
