Powerball Jackpot Nears $500 Million as Mega Millions Climbs to $900 Million

The Powerball jackpot for Monday, November 10, 2025, surged to nearly $500 million after no ticket matched all winning numbers in Saturday’s $467 million drawing. With the Mega Millions jackpot also nearing $900 million, lottery fever is sweeping across the United States once again.

Officials confirmed that the Powerball grand prize has now rolled over 25 consecutive times since resetting to $20 million on September 8. The streak began just after a pair of tickets from Texas and Missouri shared the record-setting $1.787 billion jackpot drawn on September 6.

Powerball Jackpot Update for Monday, Nov. 10

According to Powerball.com, the prize for the Monday, November 10 drawing was estimated at $490 million, with a one-time cash option of $229.8 million. Players were eagerly awaiting the results, which were released shortly after 11 p.m. ET.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 3, 53, 60, 62, 68, and the Powerball 11, with a Power Play multiplier of 2x. No player matched all six numbers, meaning the jackpot continued to grow heading into the new week. Powerball tickets cost $2 and drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET, including holidays.

The Powerball prize pool has seen rapid increases over the past month. Starting from $400 million on November 1, it climbed to $490 million by November 10, marking one of the fastest-growing streaks in recent months. Lottery officials say the excitement is also fueled by Mega Millions’ concurrent $900 million jackpot set for Veterans Day, November 11.

Powerball Rollovers and Historical Context

Since the September 8 reset, the Powerball jackpot has climbed steadily. Weekly rollovers pushed it past several key milestones: $160 million on September 29, $304 million on October 20, and over $400 million by early November. The last winning Powerball jackpot ticket was sold in Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, for the record $1.787 billion prize — the second-largest in game history.

As of November 10, the top ten Powerball jackpots include several billion-dollar drawings, led by the $2.04 billion record from November 2022 in California. The recent Mega Millions surge adds further anticipation for lottery players nationwide, with both games’ combined jackpots now exceeding $1.3 billion.
