A California resident won a $527 million Powerball jackpot on Saturday night, marking only the second time the game's largest prize was awarded in 2025. The winning numbers were 7, 11, 21, 53, 61, and the Powerball 2. The ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim. The winner can choose between an annuity or a $243.8 million lump sum. The 7-Eleven receives a $1 million bonus. Five other players won $1 million each by matching five numbers. This is the largest Powerball jackpot since January 2025 when an Oregon resident won $328.5 million. In 2024, nine jackpot-winning tickets were sold, the most since 2018. The largest Powerball win in history remains Edwin Castro's $2.04 billion win in November 2022.
