MADISON, Wis. -- A record-breaking billion-dollar Powerball jackpot is on the rise and while no one took home the grand prize over the weekend, three Wisconsin players purchased winning tickets of $50,000 or more for the Saturday, December 13, 2025, drawing. A winning $100,000 was sold at Stop-N-Go on 230 W. Summit Ave. in Wales. The ticket included the $1 Power Play, turning a $50,000 win into a $100,000 prize. It is the second time in three days that a winning $50,000 (or more) Powerball ticket was sold in Wales.

In addition to the $100,000 winner, two $50,000 winning Powerball tickets were purchased from the Kwik Trip on 3721 W. College Ave. in Grand Chute and the Kwik Trip on 2327 N. Clairemont St. in Eau Claire.

All three winning tickets matched four of five numbers (1-28-31-57-58) and the Powerball (16).

Powerball offers nine different prize levels. Nationwide, seven tickets won cash prizes worth $1 million or more and 61 tickets won $50,000 or more following the Saturday drawing.

Monday’s Powerball drawing will be the 43rd in the current jackpot run, setting a game record for most consecutive drawings in a single jackpot cycle. The Powerball jackpot was last won on Sept. 6 by two tickets in Missouri and Texas that split a $1.787 billion prize.

The estimated Powerball jackpot for tonight's drawing is $1.1 billion – the 6th largest prize in the game's history.
