Summer Windfall Alert: Powerball Jackpot Climbs to a Staggering $190 Million for Saturday Drawing

NATIONWIDE – The dream of a life-changing summer fortune is growing as the Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $190 million for the drawing on Saturday, July 5, 2025. The grand prize swelled after Wednesday night’s drawing produced no ticket matching all six winning numbers.

For the lucky player who manages to match all five white balls and the red Powerball on Saturday, a monumental choice awaits: receive the full 87 million** before taxes.

This jackpot climb continues a thrilling year for Powerball players. A potential Saturday winner would become the fifth person in 2025 to hit the grand prize. The year has already seen significant winners, including:

  2. Pick Your Numbers: Select five numbers from 1 to 69 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 26 (the red Powerball). You can also choose the “Quick Pick” option and have the lottery terminal randomly select your numbers for you.

  3. Boost Your Winnings: For an additional $1, you can add the “Power Play” option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X.
