On the heels of the Mega Millions jackpot that was worth nearly $1 billion, the Powerball drawing tonight is worth quite a bit of cash.
Tonight’s Powerball jackpot (Nov. 17, 2025) is worth an estimated $570 million, according to a release from the Massachusetts Lottery, which added that the cash option on the prize is an estimated $266.9 million.
Nobody won the jackpot on the drawing for Saturday, Nov. 15.
However, one $50,000 prize was won on a ticket sold in Salisbury, Massachusetts, according to the Massachusetts Lottery.
Tonight’s Powerball drawing will be the (31st) since the jackpot was last hit Sept. 6, when tickets sold in Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion jackpot.
Do you want to play Powerball today?
Here’s how.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.
You can check the Massachusetts Lottery website, or the Powerball website for the drawing results.
Powerball tickets are $2 each and can be purchased until 9:50 p.m. on the day of a drawing.
The Powerball website states that, “the overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.”
To play Powerball, you have to buy a ticket for $2. You can do this at a variety of locations, including your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In some states, Powerball tickets can be bought online.
Once you have your ticket, you need to pick six numbers. Five of them will be white balls with numbers from 1 to 69. The red Powerball ranges from 1 to 26. People can also add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes.
The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
If you are feeling unlucky or want the computer to do the work for you, the “Quick Pick” option is available, where computer-generated numbers will be printed on a Powerball ticket. To win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
If no one wins the jackpot for a given drawing, the cash prize will continue to tick up.
