While no one won the big Powerball jackpot on Dec. 22, one lucky $1M ticket was sold in Tennessee. Here's what to know ahead of the next drawing.

A Powerball player there holds the winning ticket from Wednesday night's drawing for the game's $1.817 billion jackpot. The winner, who so far hasn't gone public, can choose between an annuitized prize of $1.817 billion or a lump sump payment of $834.9 million (both prize options are before taxes).

After there was no big winner in last night's drawing, the Powerball jackpot for the upcoming drawing will be one of the largest in lottery history.

A single winning ticket was sold for Powerball's Christmas Eve jackpot of $1.817 billion, in Arkansas. It was the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot ever won.

A Florida Powerball ticket is worth $1 million. Another winner in Dec. 22 drawing is a Fantasy 5 ticket sold in Vero Beach.

The Powerball jackpot is now an estimated $1.7 billion for Wednesday night’s (Dec. 23, 2025) drawing, with a cash value of $781.3 million. It is the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot ever, and fourth largest among U.S. lottery games, according to a release from Powerball.
