Powerball Jackpot Surpasses $100 Million Nationwide June 18

The Powerball jackpot has continued to grow after no grand prize winner was announced in the recent Monday, June 16 drawing, pushing the prize to $101 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, June 18. The jackpot's cash option for the upcoming draw is approximately $45.7 million. Earlier in 2025, there have been four major Powerball jackpot winners across the U.S., including big wins in California, Oregon, Kentucky, and another on March 29 for $527 million. Despite no jackpot winners recently, several players have won significant secondary prizes, such as a $250,000 win in Texas by matching four white balls and the Powerball with the Power Play multiplier. Meanwhile, New Zealand has also seen multiple Powerball multimillionaires this year, with recent wins and a $25 million jackpot drawing creating excitement among players there. Players are reminded that tickets cost $2 and that the Power Play option can multiply non-jackpot prizes, with draws held three times a week, including upcoming draws on federal holidays like Juneteenth.
