The Powerball jackpot has now jumped to an impressive $133 million for the Saturday drawing, following the absence of a winner in Wednesday's lottery. Participants who successfully match all six drawn numbers can opt for a one-time cash payout of $61.7 million. Unfortunately, no winners arose from Wednesday's draw for the jackpot or the $2 million and $1 million prizes. Remarkably, a fortunate player in Oregon redeemed the first jackpot-winning Powerball ticket of 2025, earning a staggering $328.5 million on January 18. The winning numbers for the February 8, 2025, Powerball drawing include 23, 44, 57, 60, 62, with the Powerball being 9 and a Power Play of 2x. As per Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, recordings show no one matched the Powerball jackpot on this occasion, nor did anyone secure the Match 5 Power Play prize of $2 million or the Match 5 prize of $1 million. The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, February 10, where players can purchase tickets for just $2 at stores or online in select states. To participate, a ticket holder must select six numbers, consisting of five white balls numbered 1-69 and one red Powerball numbered 1-26. For an additional $1, players can add Power Play, increasing the winnings for non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times. Other options include Quick Pick for automated number selection. To secure the jackpot, all five white balls must match in any order along with the red Powerball. As a reminder, if a jackpot is not won, the cash prize continues to increase. Drawings occur three times weekly - on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights around 11:59 p.m. ET. Additionally, tickets are available at various locations, including gas stations and grocery stores, while the Jackpocket app offers a convenient way to participate digitally from select U.S. states and territories.
