Dec. 3 drawing reveals winning Powerball numbers; Jackpot reaches $775M

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an astounding $775 million for the Wednesday, December 3 drawing, following a previous draw on Monday, December 1, where no one claimed the top prize.

Winners who match all five main numbers plus the Powerball in the 11 p.m. ET drawing have the option to receive a one-time cash payment of $362.5 million before taxes.

This latest Powerball draw comes right after a fortunate player claimed a $90 million Mega Millions prize on December 2.

Winning Numbers

The numbers for the December 3 Powerball drawing will be posted here immediately after they are drawn. Any winners will also be updated once confirmed by lottery officials.

How to Play

Powerball tickets cost $2 and are available at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and in some states, online. Players select six numbers: five white balls numbered 1 through 69 and one red Powerball numbered 1 through 26.

An optional Power Play feature can be added for $1, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.

For those who prefer not to pick numbers manually, the Quick Pick option allows the system to generate a random set of numbers for the ticket.

Draw Schedule

Powerball drawings occur on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no jackpot winner is declared, the prize continues to grow.

Online Ticket Options

Tickets can be purchased online through the Jackpocket app, which is available in select U.S. states and territories. The app allows players to choose their numbers, place orders, view tickets, and collect winnings digitally.

Next Drawing

The subsequent Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, shortly after 11 p.m. ET.
