The Powerball jackpot for the Saturday, Dec. 16 drawing reached an astounding estimated amount of $535 million. Excitement grew among lottery players as they eagerly awaited the winning numbers. The results were revealed as 3, 9, 10, 20, and 62, with a Powerball number of 25. However, to the dismay of hopeful participants, no ticket matched all the winning numbers, causing the jackpot to roll over to an even higher amount.

The cost of playing the Powerball is $2, with an additional $1 for the Power Play feature, which increases the potential winnings.

The Powerball offers various prize levels, ranging from $4 for matching just the Powerball number to the enormous jackpot for matching all five white balls and the Powerball. The overall odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are extremely slim, at 1 in 292.2 million.

To ensure fairness and transparency, the winning numbers are regularly broadcast live on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. They can also be found on the Powerball and Michigan Lottery websites.

Additionally, there is an option called the Double Play, available to those who purchase Powerball tickets in-store.
