The Powerball jackpot has just continued to climb: An estimated $331 million is up for grabs with a cash option of $147.5 million in Saturday night’s drawing. Enthusiastic fans are counting down for the lottery drawing nationwide, hoping to transform their $2 ticket into a life-changing fortune.
The January 18, 2025, Powerball draw winning numbers are 14, 31, 35, 64, 69, and the Powerball is 23. For this draw, the Power Play multiplier was 2x. There is no confirmed jackpot winner, but many ticket holders will be thrilled with the excitement of secondary prizes.
For those interested, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, but smaller prizes are much easier to win. Matching the Powerball alone can still get you $4 while matching five numbers without the Powerball gets you $1 million.
If there is no jackpot winner tonight, this jackpot will roll over to the next drawing on Monday, January 20. Powerball draws take place three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, at 10:59 p.m. ET.
In case you’re new to the game, playing Powerball is simple. Players select five numbers between 1 and 69 and a single Powerball number between 1 and 26. Adding the Power Play option for an extra $1 can multiply non-jackpot winnings.
If you’re a winner, be sure to claim your prize before the deadline that applies in your state. Large prizes are often subject to significant federal and state taxes.
If you are a regular player or if you just bought a ticket for tonight, tonight could be your lucky night. As the saying goes with Powerball: “It could happen to you.” Good luck!
