It’s Powerball’s turn not to produce a jackpot winner again. The last draw did not have any ticket holder, therefore, the pot has now reached $139 million for the April 21, Monday draw. If there is only one correct ticket, the winner can get $63.8 million in a one-time cash transfer.
They said it for sure: the numbers for the Monday draw will be announced right after the draw, which takes place a little after 11 p.m. ET. Check the official winning numbers on Powerball.com or get them faster by following USA TODAY’s live updates.

Nobody Hit the Big Prize, Still the Buzz Arises
It’s an event people are waiting for after we have been given multiple jackpots by the Powerball in recent times. This year’s first $328.5 million winning ticket was bought in Oregon, USA, on January 18 and a gigantic $527 million was won on March 29 by the second ticket holder. Since then, the main prize has been growing without interruption, and every week there are more people willing to try their luck.
What is the Winning Combination?
By the end of Monday night, April 21, 2025, the results will be available on the official Powerball results page and shared regionally through multiple U.S. web resources. Don’t forget to match the numbers on your ticket with the drawn ones once they are up!
How to Play Powerball in the U.S.
You can easily buy Powerball tickets for a small amount of money, just $2. They are sold via point of sales, grocery stores, and even petrol stations in most U.S. states. The tickets are also being sold on the internet in some states through the website Jackpocket.com.
Jackpocket, which is your go-to digital lottery messenger of the USA TODAY Network.
Your numbers which are required to be chosen are six in total — five white balls numbered from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number, ranging from 1 to 26. In addition, a Power Play can be added for a small fee. The Power Play will multiply your non-jackpot winnings by a number ranging from 2 to 10, which depends on the drawn number.
Should you not be one of those people who like to pick numbers on their own, just go for a Quick Pick, and the system will make the choices for you randomly.
When Are Powerball Drawings Held?
One thing to keep in mind is that Powerball drawings occur three times a week — on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights — with the start time of 10:59 p.m. ET. The jackpot is left without a winner only if nobody wins the prize, and in that case, it will be rolled over to the subsequent drawing. That will be a great opportunity for the prize to grow a lot more time.
You can either watch the live drawing on the Powerball’s official website or find the result on the lottery terminals or online apps after the event.
Where You Can Play
Powerball can be played in 45 states that are in America, besides these, other notable regions, such as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will also make Powerball available. As a general rule, tickets can only be sold at certain time points on the location where the drawing is taking place — it ranges from minutes to two hours before the draw, depending on the particular state.
Should one like to go paperless, Jackpocket is there to offer a legal channel for residents in specific states to participate through their smartphones or laptops including New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Massachusetts, and others.
What If You Win?
In the very rare case you get six numbers on the ticket, you can pick one of the following payout options:
- Annuity option: It will be paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years.
- Cash option: The one time payment, which is an estimated $63.8 million before taxes for Monday’s drawing.
The winners must claim the winning prize as per the rules set by the state’s lottery officials, which for that particular game may provide options of remaining anonymous or disclosing their identity.
Powerball Drawing And The Jackpot
If the jackpot for Monday’s drawing is not won then the game will be decided on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, and the grand prize will be even more.
