Powerball drawing December 6 results: $820 million jackpot unclaimed, eighth-largest in history makes Monday’s drawing massive

Powerball drawing results are in for Saturday, December 6, 2025, revealing the winning numbers for the $820 million jackpot. No grand prize winner emerged this time. The eighth-largest jackpot in Powerball history draws intense interest nationwide.

Saturday’s Winning Numbers and Prize Breakdown

The Powerball drawing for December 6, 2025 produced winning numbers 13, 14, 26, 28, and 44 with a red Powerball of 7. The Power Play multiplier was 2x, affecting non-jackpot prize winners.

According to multiple lottery officials, no player matched all six numbers to claim the $820 million jackpot. Winners at other prize levels did emerge across various states. The Match 5 prize winners in states like California and Florida secured $1 million each.

Lottery officials confirmed that Tuesday’s prior drawing (December 3) also produced no grand prize winner, causing the jackpot to roll over and grow to this historic level just before Saturday’s draw.

The $820 million jackpot announced for Saturday ranks as the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot in the game’s entire history. This milestone demonstrates how much excitement builds when multiple draws pass without a grand prize winner.

Lottery analysts noted that the holiday season typically sees increased ticket sales, adding to the drama surrounding this significant prize level.

How Powerball Works and Your Odds

Playing Powerball requires selecting five white ball numbers between 1 and 69, plus one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. Each ticket costs $2 per play. Drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET.

The overall odds of winning any prize stand at approximately 1 in 24.87. However, the odds of matching all six numbers to win the jackpot are much steeper at approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Most players win smaller prizes for matching fewer numbers.

Each player can add the optional Power Play feature for an extra $1. This multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times. The Saturday drawing featured a 2x multiplier. The 10x multiplier only activates when the jackpot falls to $150 million or below.

What Winners Can Expect

Any future Powerball jackpot winner faces a meaningful choice between two payout options. The annuity option provides 30 graduated payments over 29 years, while the cash option delivers a lump sum (often significantly less but immediately available).

For the December 6 drawing, a jackpot winner could have chosen either $820 million annuity or $378.2 million cash at approximately half the advertised amount. Both options are subject to federal and state taxes before the winner receives funds.

Powerball is available in 45 U.S. states, plus Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. Each jurisdiction sets its own ticket sales cutoff times, typically 1 to 2 hours before drawing time.

What’s Next for Powerball Players?

With no grand prize winner on Saturday, the Powerball jackpot will roll over and grow for the next drawing on Monday, December 9, 2025 at 10:59 PM ET. Holiday players often increase ticket purchases during this period, adding momentum to the building prize.

Past winners at all prize levels in Wednesday’s drawing included matches in Kentucky, California, and Florida. Lottery officials encourage all players to check their tickets carefully and visit official lottery websites to verify winning numbers.

The Powerball continues its tradition of creating life-changing opportunities for millions of Americans. Will the next drawing on Monday produce the big winner, or will the jackpot climb even higher?
