(WJW) – Tonight’s Powerball jackpot is a whopper. The biggest of 2025 and the largest in more than a year. The jackpot has grown to a massive $643 million. It has a cash value of $290.6 million. The Powerball jackpot was last won on May 31 in California.

You can increase your non-jackpot winnings by purchasing the PowerPlay option as well; you can do so by marking "YES" next to Power Play option. You can also play the same numbers you selected again any number of times by marking the multi-draw option. Then you take your play slip to the retailer and have it processed.

Powerball hits $643M. Winners face steep taxes—up to 37% federal plus state cuts—leaving far less than expected, depending on payout choice and location.

Past winners, including winning Powerball numbers Aug. 18, 2025, can help you narrow the numbers you choose for Wednesday's drawing.
