The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an impressive $654 million after Saturday’s drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner. With anticipation building, lottery players across the nation are eagerly checking their tickets from Monday night’s November 24, 2025 drawing.
The winning numbers for the Monday, November 24 Powerball drawing were 8, 16, 26, 30, 58, with a Powerball number of 14 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x. The massive jackpot comes with a cash option valued at $303.2 million for those who prefer an immediate lump sum payment.
As of publication, official results determining whether anyone matched all six numbers to claim the jackpot are still pending. The anticipation continues as lottery officials verify tickets and process the drawing results.
For those who may have participated in the Double Play option, those numbers are also pending official announcement. The Double Play feature gives players an additional chance to win up to $10 million for an extra dollar per ticket.
Powerball drawings take place three times weekly at approximately 10:59 PM Eastern Time every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The next opportunity for players to try their luck will be Wednesday’s drawing, assuming no jackpot winner emerges from Monday’s results.
Understanding the prize structure is crucial for players. While matching all six numbers wins the jackpot, prizes begin with matching just the Powerball number alone, which awards $4. Matching one regular number plus the Powerball also earns $4. However, matching only two regular numbers without the Powerball doesn’t qualify for any prize.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, with optional add-ons available. The Power Play feature, available for an additional $1, multiplies non-jackpot winnings. The Double Play option, also $1 extra, provides a second chance at winning with the same numbers in a separate drawing with a top prize of $10 million.
Meanwhile, Mega Millions players are tracking their own jackpot progression. Friday night’s November 21 drawing produced winning numbers 3, 4, 19, 31, 63 with Mega Ball 9. With no jackpot winner, Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing will feature an estimated $70 million prize with a $32.3 million cash option.
The 2025 lottery year has already produced several significant Powerball winners. January kicked off with a $328.5 million winner in Oregon, followed by California’s $526.5 million jackpot in March. Kentucky celebrated a $167.3 million victory in April, while California struck again with $204.5 million in June. The year’s biggest moment came in September when a record-breaking $1.787 billion jackpot was split between winners in Missouri and Texas.
This current jackpot, while substantial, hasn’t yet approached the all-time Powerball record. The largest single lottery prize in history remains the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in California on November 7, 2022. Other notable mega-jackpots include the recent $1.787 billion prize and 2023’s $1.765 billion California winner.
Comparing across both major lottery games, the top prizes showcase the incredible potential these drawings offer. The largest Mega Millions prize was $2.04 billion, while recent years have seen multiple jackpots exceeding $1 billion in both games, creating a new era of unprecedented lottery prizes.
As players await confirmation of Monday’s results, the excitement builds for potential life-changing wins. Whether through the main jackpot or smaller tier prizes, each drawing offers multiple opportunities for players to celebrate. The next drawing approaches quickly, giving hopeful participants another chance at lottery history.
