The record prize for any lottery game in South Africa came in the PowerBall when one winner scooped an incredible R232 131 750.69 in the draw held on 19 February 2019. PowerBall Plus is the same as PowerBall but gives players a second chance to win.

The Powerball jackpot is now an estimated $1.7 billion for Wednesday night’s (Dec. 23, 2025) drawing, with a cash value of $781.3 million. It is the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot ever, and fourth largest among U.S. lottery games, according to a release from Powerball.

Santa might have a gigantic present in his bag on Christmas Eve, when the estimated jackpot for that night's drawing will be an estimated $1.7 billion — the fourth largest in Powerball and U.S. lottery history. That's because no tickets came up winners of Monday night's jackpot of an estimated $1.6 billion jackpot.

The Powerball jackpot continues to grow after no ticket won the grand prize in Wednesday night’s drawing. The winning numbers drawn for Wednesday’s Powerball were 25, 33, 53, 62 and 66, with a red Powerball of 17 and a 4x Power Play multiplier.
