Winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025

The Powerball jackpot is back near a billion dollars, with more than $930 million up for grabs after nobody matched all five white balls and the Powerball number on Monday. 

The full jackpot represents the annuity option paid out over decades. The lump sum cash payout is worth $429 million before taxes. 

The current jackpot has been rolling since Sept. 6, when those two winners beat odds of 1 in 292.2 million. 

The largest Powerball jackpot remains $2.04 billion, won by a single ticket in California in November 2022. This year has produced three major Powerball wins: the $1.8 billion September prize, a $526.5 million jackpot claimed in California in March and a $328.5 million prize won in Oregon in January.
