What Happened in the Dec. 13 Powerball Drawing

Last Night’s Winning Powerball Numbers

The official Powerball winning numbers for Dec. 13, 2025 were:

  • 1 – 28 – 31 – 57 – 58

  • Powerball: 16

  • Power Play: 2X Powerball

If you’re asking “What were the Powerball numbers last night?” — those are the set you need to check against your ticket. Powerball

Was There a Powerball Winner Last Night?

Here’s the bottom line: nobody matched all six numbers, so there was no grand prize winner for the Dec. 13 jackpot. Powerball

That means:

  • No one won the Powerball jackpot.

  • The prize will roll over to the next drawing. Powerball

If your question was “Did anyone win Powerball last night?” — the answer is no for the jackpot level, though plenty of people still took home smaller amounts.

Top Prize and Secondary Winners

Even without a jackpot winner, several big prizes were claimed:

  • Two tickets won $2 million by matching all five white balls with the Power Play (sold in North Carolina and Pennsylvania).

  • Five tickets matched all five white balls without the Powerball — that’s $1 million each — in California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, and Virginia. Powerball

This is how the Powerball results break down — the jackpot escapes capture but multiple players still walked away with serious cash.

How Big Was the Jackpot?

Going into Saturday’s drawing, the Powerball jackpot was estimated at roughly $1 billion — one of the largest prizes in the game’s history. Good Morning America

Because no ticket matched every number:

  • The next jackpot (for Monday’s draw) has climbed to about $1.1 billion, with a cash value near $503 million. Powerball

That makes this the sixth-largest Powerball jackpot on record and the second billion-dollar jackpot of 2025. The Economic Times

It’s worth pausing here: the jackpot didn’t vanish — it just keeps growing. Once no one claims the top prize, it rolls forward to the next Powerball drawing, giving you another shot. That’s how you end up with these truly enormous jackpots.

Did Anyone Else Win Big?

Across the U.S., multiple players scored winnings in lower tiers:

  • Many matched 3 or 4 numbers and earned smaller prizes (from $7 up to $50,000+).

  • Tens of thousands of players won prizes in the low-to-mid range in states like Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, and others. swtimes.com+2shreveporttimes.com+2

Plus, local lottery systems (like the Florida Lottery, Louisiana Lottery, and NC Powerball) each reported winners in state games connected to the Powerball drawing night. tcpalm.com+1

Who Plays Powerball and Why It Matters

The Powerball lottery is a U.S. multi-state game played in 45 states plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players choose five numbers from 1–69 and a Powerball number from 1–26. Tickets cost $2, and you can add the Power Play for $1 more to boost non-jackpot winnings. Powerball

Every drawing is independent (meaning past results don’t affect future ones), and the odds of winning the jackpot are roughly 1 in 292.2 million. Good Morning America

That’s a long shot, sure — but even smaller wins make a lot of players feel lucky, and those millions of tickets mean big jackpots get attention across the country.

What Happens Next?

When is the Next Powerball Drawing?

  • The next Powerball drawing will take place on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025.

  • Ticket sales usually close in the evening — check your local lottery’s deadline to be sure you’re in on time. Powerball

At that point, the jackpot will be around $1.1 billion, giving you another shot at historic money.

How to Check Your Numbers

To check your Powerball numbers:

  1. Compare your ticket to the Dec. 13 set (1-28-31-57-58 and Powerball 16).

  2. Visit your state lottery’s website (e.g., Florida Lottery, VA Lottery, NC Powerball) to confirm results and claim instructions.

  3. Keep your ticket safe — even smaller prizes need to be claimed within a specific time window.

Powerball in Context

This pattern — a jackpot growing huge and rolling over when no one wins — isn’t new. In fact:

  • There have been 41 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner recently, which is what pushed the prize into the billion-dollar tier. Red94

  • The last jackpot hit was on Sept. 6, 2025, split between Missouri and Texas for a massive $1.787 billion. The Economic Times

Billion-dollar jackpots are rare but not unheard of: they happen when enough players keep buying tickets and rolls stack up over time.

What This Means If You’re Playing

Here’s the honest take:

  • Did anyone win the Powerball last night? No, not the jackpot.

  • Powerball winning numbers for Dec. 13, 2025: 1-28-31-57-58 and 16.

  • Next jackpot: About $1.1 billion for Dec. 15.

Check your ticket. Even if you didn’t hit the top prize, you might have scored something — and the next big drawing is right around the corner.
