As of Thursday, the Powerball jackpot sits at an estimated $482 million with a cash value of $218.9 million. Without a massive growth spurt before the next drawing, the current jackpot ranks as the second-largest of 2025. In March, a $515 million prize was won by a ticket sold in California.

More than 610,000 other Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million, the lottery said.
