Idaho Lottery Confirms More Powerball Wins as Jackpot Climbs to $1 Billion

Whether you stayed up late to wait for the drawing or cracked open the Idaho Lottery app first thing in the morning, you were among thousands of Idahoans hoping to hear “WOOH!” when you scanned your Powerball ticket.

2025’s been a year of economic uncertainty, so it’s no surprise that interest in the multi-state lottery game is surging as the jackpot continues to grow. The jackpot for Wednesday, December 10, snowballed to $930 million, the seventh largest in the game’s history. The only other jackpots that surpassed the most recent draw’s top prize have all been over $1 billion:

• July 19, 2023: $1.08 Billion (winning ticket sold in California)
• April 6, 2024: $1.325 Billion (winning ticket sold in Oregon)
• January 13, 2016: $1.586 Billion (winning tickets sold in California, Florida and Tennessee)

• September 6, 2025: $1.787 Billion (winning tickets sold in Missouri and Texas)
• November 7, 2022: $2.04 Billion (winning ticket sold in California)

What Numbers Were Drawn for December 10’s Powerball?

If you got distracted by decorating the tree or wrapping gifts, here’s a replay of the drawing:

54 tickets sold for Wednesday’s drawing produced prizes of $50,000 including three $1 million tickets sold in Maryland, Michigan and New Jersey.

However, no ticket matched all five white balls and the Powerball. That means Saturday night’s draw will now have an estimated jackpot of $1 billion!

Were There Any Powerball Winners from Idaho?

There sure were. According to the Idaho Lottery’s website, there were 5,476 winning tickets sold in the Gem State for the last draw. However, the prizes weren’t exactly life-changing money. Four Idahoans matched four white balls.
