Powerball jackpot – Ahead of the Monday, June 22 Powerball drawing, the jackpot rose to $312 million, with a cash value of $141.2 million. No one claimed the top prize on Saturday night, but two players still won $2 million in Florida and $1 million in Pennsylvania.
For a lot of lottery players, the wait between drawings can feel endless—especially when the number you’re chasing keeps growing. Before Monday, June 22’s Powerball drawing, the jackpot climbed to $312 million, with a cash value of $141.2 million.
The timing matters. Powerball drawings are held on Monday. Wednesday. and Saturday nights. and when no one wins the jackpot. the cash prize keeps ticking up. On Saturday night. no one took home the big prize. but the night wasn’t a total loss: one player in Florida won $2 million and another in Pennsylvania won $1 million. As of June 22, there have been seven Powerball jackpot winners.
Powerball’s own history shows how rare the jackpot moment is. Since launching in 1992, Powerball jackpots have been hit more than 400 times, and Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin rank among the states with the most jackpot-winning tickets.
With the next drawing set for Monday night, players are already asking the practical question: what numbers should they pick?
USA TODAY’s winning-numbers plan for Monday, June 22 is straightforward: the winning numbers will be posted after the lottery drawing at 11 p.m. ET.
Players looking for a quick route through the math can also lean on how the game is set up. A Powerball ticket costs $2 per play and is sold in 45 states. the District of Columbia. Puerto Rico. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on local jurisdiction, tickets can sometimes be bought online, including from places like convenience stores and gas stations.
There’s also a frequently misunderstood point about eligibility. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident to play Powerball. Anyone. regardless of nationality. can purchase tickets from an authorized and licensed retailer as long as they meet the legal age requirement at the point of purchase—usually 18 years old.
To play, ticket-holders pick six numbers: five white balls numbered 1 to 69 and one red Powerball ranging from 1 to 26. Players can add “Power Play” for $1, which increases the winning for all non-jackpot prizes. The Power Play multiplier can be 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
If you don’t want to choose, the “Quick Pick” option is available. To win the jackpot, you must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

So basically nobody wins and it just keeps going up… cool cool.
I always thought the cash value was like the real amount you get, not half of it lol. Also two winners in Florida and PA but jackpot still $312M? seems rigged.
Wait it says powerball is Monday Wednesday and Saturday, but the article says next drawing Monday night. So are they messing with the schedule? I swear I saw it on YouTube it was Tuesday once.
I’m just gonna pick whatever numbers hit the last time I dreamed about it. The math part is whatever… like “cash value” dropping always gets me mad. Also Indiana getting mentioned a lot makes me think it’s only a matter of time before Indiana wins again, like it’s their thing.
