A Statistical Breakdown of the Powerball Winning Numbers and the Record Setting 43 Draw Winless Streak
The massive $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot remained untouched on Monday night, December 15, 2025, as no ticket matched all six numbers. This marks the 43rd consecutive drawing without a grand prize winner, a record-setting streak that has pushed the estimated jackpot for the upcoming Wednesday draw to a staggering $1.25 billion. While the billion-dollar prize proved elusive, the night was still transformative for several players, including two new millionaires in Arizona and California.
The immediate status and summary of the drawing confirmed that while the jackpot survived, the "holiday luck" was felt in secondary tiers. For the Monday, December 15 draw, the winning numbers were 59, 68, 63, 23, 35 with a Powerball of 2. The Power Play multiplier was 4X. Although the grand prize was not claimed, two tickets sold in Arizona and California matched all five white balls to win $1 million each. This follows a high-action weekend where a Florida ticket also secured a $1 million win in the Saturday, December 13 drawing.
Key stats from the December 15 drawing highlight the growing scale of this jackpot run. The current prize now ranks as the sixth-largest in Powerball history and the 12th-largest in U.S. lottery history overall. If a single winner were to claim the new $1.25 billion prize on Wednesday, they would have the choice between an annuitized value of $1.25 billion or a one-time lump-sum payment estimated at roughly $572 million before taxes. The odds of hitting the jackpot remain at 1 in 292.2 million.
The strategic factor in this current lottery fever is the unprecedented length of the "winless streak." Matt Strawn, the Powerball Product Group Chair, noted that this cycle has set a record for the most consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. This sustained accumulation is partly due to the high volume of play during the holiday season, which has seen several $1 million and $2 million winners across states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan over the last week.
The future outlook for Powerball players is focused squarely on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. With the jackpot climbing past the $1.2 billion mark, ticket sales are expected to spike nationwide. The drawing will take place at 10:59 p.m. ET at the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee. As the prize reaches historic territory, lottery officials continue to urge participants to "play responsibly" while dreaming of a life-changing holiday windfall.
