Latest big jackpot hit

  • A $1.817 billion Powerball jackpot was won by a single ticket sold in Arkansas for the Christmas Eve drawing on December 24, 2025.
  • This was the second time a Powerball jackpot has been won in Arkansas.

How to check where it hit “last night”

  • Go to the official Powerball results page and look up the most recent draw; it lists the winning numbers and, when applicable, information about jackpot-winning tickets.
  • Independent lottery result trackers also post the latest winning numbers and jackpot details, but the official site is the most authoritative.
