Is today the luckiest Thanksgiving of someone’s life? The Powerball jackpot is nearing top 10 record levels for the popular multistate lottery.
The Nov. 26, 2025, prize stood at $681 million. That means some lucky winner could have pocketed a $315.7 million cash prize if they chose a one-time payout. That’ll buy a lot of turkey.
To win Powerball, players have to buy a ticket matching all five numbers and the Powerball — the odds of winning were 1 in 292,201,338 — and have the option to select a one-time cash payout.

How to play Powerball
Powerball costs $2 per play. In states like Idaho and Montana, it’s bundled with Power Play for a minimum purchase price of $3 per play.
Players can pick five numbers (or you can have them chosen randomly) between 1 and 69 for the white balls, then select one number between 1 and 26 for the red Powerball.
The “Power Play” multiplier can multiply winnings by: 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
The Powerball jackpot continues to grow until someone wins. Players win a prize by matching one of nine ways to win. Players can only win the full jackpot by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.
Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump-sum payment. Both advertised prize options are before state, local, and/or federal taxes.
