The Powerball winning numbers for Wednesday, November 5, 2025, were 9, 17, 29, 61, and 66, with the red Powerball number 26. The Power Play multiplier was 5x. As no ticket matched all six numbers, the jackpot has now rolled over to an estimated $467 million for the next draw on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
The next Powerball drawing will take place at approximately 11 p.m. ET. Players across the U.S. are eagerly awaiting the results, as the cash option for this drawing stands at $218.1 million. With such a massive prize at stake, excitement is at an all-time high.
Details About the November 8, 2025 Powerball Drawing
According to the Louisville Courier Journal, Saturday night’s Powerball jackpot is estimated at $467 million, offering players another chance at becoming an overnight multimillionaire. The drawing will occur at 10:59 p.m. ET, and tickets must be purchased before the cutoff time in each participating state.
During the previous drawing held on Wednesday, November 5, no player claimed the grand prize. However, smaller prizes continue to be awarded to lucky ticket holders nationwide. Players can win starting from matching the Powerball alone for $4, to matching all five white numbers for a $1 million prize, even without the Power Play multiplier.
How Many Numbers Do You Need to Win in Powerball?
The Powerball offers nine different ways to win. Matching only the red Powerball number earns $4, while matching one white number plus the Powerball also gives $4. The prizes increase for additional matches, with matching all five white numbers but missing the Powerball worth $1 million. Adding the Power Play option multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to five times, depending on the multiplier drawn.
Tickets cost $2 per play, and for an additional $1, players can add the Power Play feature to multiply non-jackpot winnings. The odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 24.9, while the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Recent Powerball Jackpot Winners
Powerball has seen several huge wins this year. Recent jackpots include $1.787 billion on September 6, 2025, shared between Missouri and Texas, and $205 million on May 31, 2025, won in California. Earlier this year, players in Kentucky, Oregon, and New York also took home hundreds of millions in Powerball prizes, showing that life-changing wins can happen anywhere.
As anticipation builds for the Saturday, November 8 drawing, Powerball players are urged to check their tickets carefully after the draw and play responsibly. The winning numbers will be announced shortly after 11 p.m. ET on Saturday.
The next Powerball drawing will determine if anyone claims the massive $467 million jackpot—or if it rolls over yet again, pushing the total even higher for next week’s drawing.
