The Powerball drawing on November 8, 2025, revealed the winning numbers as 3, 53, 60, 62, 68, and a Powerball of 11. This drawing raised the jackpot to an impressive $467 million, with a cash option valued at $218.1 million. However, no one matched all six numbers in this drawing.
Powerball Drawing Schedule and Ticket Information
Powerball drawings occur three times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET. A single ticket costs $2, with an additional $1 for the Power Play option, which allows players to multiply non-jackpot winnings. Players can also choose the Double Play option for another dollar, providing a second chance to win up to $10 million.
Chances of Winning the Jackpot
The likelihood of winning the Powerball jackpot remains extremely low. To win any prize, players need to match at least one number, specifically the Powerball itself, worth $4. Matching two numbers does not guarantee a prize unless it includes the Powerball.

In addition to Powerball, the Mega Millions jackpot has also seen significant growth. The estimated jackpot for the upcoming Mega Millions drawing on November 11, 2025, has surged to $900 million, offering a cash option of $415.3 million.
