The Powerball jackpot has reached $820 million, the second-largest of the year, with a $385.5 million cash option, potentially making it the eighth-largest prize in Powerball history. The game’s format changed on October 7, 2025, using 69 white balls and 26 red Powerballs. Since then, number 61 has been the most frequently drawn white ball, appearing 118 times, followed by 21. Red balls 4 and 21 have each been drawn nearly 5% of the time.
