A Powerball ticket worth $150,000 was sold at a BP station located at 600 Bridge St. in Cornell, Wisconsin, for the August 25, 2025 drawing. The ticket matched four out of five numbers (16-19-34-37-64) and the Powerball (22), and included the $1 Power Play feature. This feature increased the original $50,000 prize to $150,000 due to a 3X multiplier.

The current Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $815 million, making it the seventh largest in the game's history. No player won the jackpot in the most recent drawing.
