Here is your Powerball drawing for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

We have a good news/ bad news scenario to report following the crunching of all the Powerball numbers from last night. The bad news, there was no jackpot winner. The good news, there were several other big wins, including the big win we told you about in Texas.

Our sources at Powerball confirmed two Match 5 Million winners were sold. One each in Florida and Kentucky. There were seventeen tickets that hit on the match scenario of four white balls and the Powerball. One of those tickets was sold in Texas. The top prize for that match scenario is $50,000. Had the Texas player opted for the Power Play option, that prize would have been tripled to $150,000.
