Powerball Jackpots in 2025 Have Officially Kicked Off!

We now have the first Powerball jackpot win of the year and it goes to a lucky winner in Oregon who picked up $328 million on Saturday night.
Winning Numbers and Jackpot Details
After only its eighth draw of the year we have now seen a spectacular win coming from the west coast - hopefully setting the scene for an incredible year for Powerball wins.
The draw took place on Saturday the 18th of January with the winning numbers: 14, 31, 35, 64 and 69, plus the Powerball of 23. Only one winning ticket, sold in Oregon, matched all the numbers and that player is now suddenly a multi-millionaire overnight.
Powerball Winner From Oregon
The identity of the winner is yet to be revealed but they undoubtedly have an important decision to make. They have the choice to take the annuity option, where they receive the full $328 million in 30 annual instalments, or they could take the cash option of $146.4 million.
They are the seventh ever Powerball winner from Oregon, with the biggest win coming last year in April where three players: Cheng ‘Charlie’ Saephan, Laiza Chao, and Duanpen Saephan all picked up an incredible $1.32 billion. Saephan commented on the win that he will now “be able to provide for my family and my health".
Saturday's Powerball Results
The latest draw was the first jackpot win since December 7th 2024 - where a player from Queens, NYC picked up $256 million. We’ve had the top prize roll over a few times since then and have now landed on almost a third of a billion-dollar win.
This draw also saw significant wins across the states - most notably in California where four players were only one number away from hitting the jackpot. They won’t be too disappointed however as they are still splitting a grand total of $90,800 - no small prize at all!
Overall there were 734,302 winners in Saturday's draw, making it an incredible night for the multi-state lottery game. The fact it came just 24 hours after the Mega Millions jackpot was won in Arizona makes it an even more eventful weekend!
It was an excellent night for anyone who chose to add the Power Play multiplier option to this draw (which came out as 2X), as any prize they won was doubled! View our breakdown of Saturday’s results to get all the winning numbers and prize payouts.
Powerball in 2025
We’re all hoping for some huge payouts in Powerball this year and this first jackpot win is a great start to that dream.
The jackpot has now reset to $20 million for the next draw on Monday and we have no idea when it will next be won. There could be plenty of significant wins or we could see the jackpot surpass its record of $2.04 billion!
Powerball draws take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Head to our online tickets page to join the next draw!
