USA Lottery Results for December 24, 2025: Powerball $1.817B

The Powerball jackpot was won tonight, ending the run that had pushed the prize to an estimated $1.817 billion—one of the largest jackpots in the game’s history. Eight lottery games were drawn across the country, with prizes ranging from $22,000 to nearly two billion dollars, but the headline belonged to the newly crowned Powerball grand prize winner.

The Christmas Eve drawings brought significant action. While the massive Powerball prize grabbed headlines, smaller games like 2by2 and Gimme 5 offered more realistic winning odds for players checking their tickets tonight.
