Lottery fever is spiking — just in time for the holiday season, and one ticket purchased in Florida got lucky.
Will a $2 ticket make you a multimillionaire? As they say in the lottery business, “it could happen to you.”
On Cyber Monday, the other popular online shopping day in the long Thanksgiving holiday (Black Wednesday, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday), the Powerball lottery jackpot was close to $750 million for the Dec. 1 drawing.
After no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the Saturday, Nov. 29, aka “Small Business Saturday” Powerball drawing, the jackpot jumped $21 million to $740 million for Monday, Dec. 1. The one-time lump sum cash option would be $346.1 million. Check back after 11 p.m. ET Monday for Dec. 1 Powerball numbers. We’ll see if there’s a winner amid the 2025 holiday season or more prize money.
In case you’re wondering, Saturday, Nov. 29, winning Powerball numbers were 19-22-30-32-59 and the Powerball was 1. Power Play was 2x. Florida had a big winner: A ticket purchased here matched 5 for a $1 million prize.
The current jackpot has since rolled over 34 times after resetting to $20 million on Sept. 8, when a pair of tickets from Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, won the $1.787 billion Powerball drawing on Sept. 6.
Mega Millions had quite a lottery frenzy, too, after one ticket from a Georgia Publix matched all five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win a whopping $980 million on Friday, Nov. 14. That Mega Millions jackpot rose on the all-time largest Mega Millions jackpot list and very nearly became the second billion-dollar lottery jackpot for 2025 and the 14th overall in the history of Mega Millions and Powerball.
Tickets start at $2 a piece. Below is what to know about lottery odds, how long to claim the cash option if you bought a ticket in Florida, and what happens to unclaimed prize money, according to the Florida Lottery.
Good luck!
Powerball lottery drawings are at 11 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. Check back for Monday, Dec. 1, winning Powerball numbers and the Power Play. We’ll see if there’s a big winner so soon after the historic $1.8 billion Powerball or another chance at more money during the 2025 holiday season.
The current Powerball streak started Monday, Sept. 8, after a ticket purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri, matched all five numbers plus the Powerball in the $1.787 billion drawing on Sept. 6, 2025.
Below is a recap of drawings and rollovers and how much the jackpot has increased over time.
Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, including holidays. According to Powerball.com, players have a 1 in 292.2 million chance to match all six numbers whether the jackpot is $20 million or $2 billion. Prizes range from $2 to the grand prize jackpot, which varies.
The next Powerball drawing will be Wednesday, Dec. 3, the day after #GivingTuesday, the last leg in the long Thanksgiving holiday (Black Wednesday, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday).
Prizes for Florida Lottery must be claimed within 180 days (six months) from the date of the drawing. To claim a single-payment cash option, a winner has within the first 60 days after the applicable draw date to claim it.
The Florida Lottery says its scratch-off tickets and Fast Play game prizes “must be claimed within 60 days of the official end-of-game date. Once the applicable time period has elapsed, the related Florida Lottery ticket will expire.”
According to Florida Lottery’s website, winners cannot remain anonymous: “Florida law mandates that the Florida Lottery provide records containing information such as the winner’s name, city of residence; game won, date won, and amount won to any third party who requests the information.”
However, the site states, the “names of lottery winners claiming prizes of $250,000 or greater will be temporarily exempt from public disclosure for 90 days from the date the prize is claimed, unless otherwise waived by the winner.”
Lottery experts and lawyers have said there are ways to remain anonymous if you win.
Here are the Top 10 Powerball jackpots in the history of the game as of Dec. 1, 2025:
10. $754.6 million — Feb. 6, 2023; Washington
9. $758.7 million — Aug. 23, 2017; Massachusetts

WALLINGFORD, Conn. — November 25, 2025 — Two weeks in, and there’s already one big win.
Connecticut’s first major Powerball Double Play winner did a double take after discovering she had won half a million dollars.
“This is my first time playing CT Lottery,” said the Meriden woman. “I’m still in disbelief.”
She decided to try her luck during the recent nearly billion-dollar Mega Millions jackpot run and bought a Powerball ticket as well, using the Quick Pick option.
“I’ve never played Powerball, so the clerk was helping me buy the ticket,” she recalled. “He asked if I wanted an add-on, and I asked what he recommended. He said Double Play, so I bought the add-on.”
That recommendation paid off. She matched all five black balls in the Double Play drawing: 47, 17, 19, 53, and 61, winning $500,000. Had she also matched the Double Play Powerball number, she would have won a $10 million top cash prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at H&H Mart on Broad St. in Meriden. Double Play, an optional add-on feature for an additional $1 per play, offers a second opportunity for players to win using their same Powerball numbers. The top cash prize for this feature is a staggering $10 million.
The winner says she plans to use the money to pay off her mortgage and celebrate her daughter’s upcoming wedding.
Congratulations to Connecticut’s first big Double Play winner — and to her daughter!
