As of February 20, 2025, the $195 million Powerball jackpot from the February 19 drawing remains unclaimed.
The winning numbers for that draw were 6, 21, 28, 49, 60, and the Powerball number 20, with a 2x Power Play multiplier.
Powerball drawings occur thrice weekly—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings—across 45 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Matching all six numbers secures the jackpot, while partial matches can yield smaller prizes.
Winners have the option to receive their prize as a lump-sum payment or as an annuity spread over 30 years, with each annual payment increasing by 5%. Both options are subject to federal and, where applicable, state taxes.
It's important to note that lottery prizes must be claimed within a specific period, which varies by jurisdiction.
For instance, a $1 million Powerball prize in Iowa remained unclaimed and was set to expire on February 3, 2025.
Given the unclaimed status of the recent $195 million jackpot, players are encouraged to check their tickets promptly.
