The "Lottery Fever" currently sweeping the United States has officially reached a breaking point. After no one hit the grand prize in the Saturday, December 20, 2025, drawing, the Powerball jackpot has surged to a staggering $1.6 Billion.
This isn't just a big number—it is officially the fourth-largest jackpot in the history of the game.
But here is the news that everyone is missing: while the billion-dollar prize is still up for grabs, eight people woke up this morning as brand-new millionaires.
The Winning Numbers for December 20, 2025 Check your tickets carefully. Even if you didn't hit the Powerball, matching the five white balls earns you a cool $1,000,000. The winning numbers were:
04 – 05 – 28 – 52 – 69 and the Powerball was 20
The Power Play multiplier for the night was 3x.
Where Were the $1 Million Tickets Sold? Lottery officials have confirmed that eight lucky players matched all five white balls. If you bought a ticket in any of the following states, you need to check your glove compartment, your wallet, and under your couch cushions immediately:
California (1 winner) Florida (2 winners) Iowa (1 winner) Massachusetts (1 winner) Michigan (1 winner) New Hampshire (1 winner) Ohio (1 winner)
In addition to these millionaires, over 130 players won prizes ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. The "Match 5" winners have not yet come forward to claim their prizes, meaning there are millions of dollars currently sitting on nightstands or in pockets across these states.
The $1.6 Billion Christmas Miracle Because the main jackpot rolled over, the drawing for Monday, December 22, 2025, is now worth an estimated $1.6 Billion.
If a single winner takes the "Lump Sum" cash option, they will walk away with $735.3 Million before taxes. To put that in perspective, you could buy a private island, a fleet of luxury jets, and still have enough to retire ten generations of your family.
What To Do If You Have a Winning Ticket
1. Sign the Back: Before you do anything else, sign your ticket. It is a "bearer instrument," meaning whoever holds it, owns it.
2. Take a Photo: Document the front and back of the ticket.
3. Seek Professional Advice: For a $1 million win, talk to a tax professional. For a $1.6 billion win, you’ll need a legal team.
4. Stay Quiet: Check your state laws regarding anonymity. In states like New Hampshire and Ohio, you may have options to keep your identity private.
The clock is ticking toward Monday night’s historic draw. Whether you’re chasing the billion or checking for that $1 million prize, the next 24 hours could be the most important of your life.
