TRENTON (October 3, 2025) – All eyes were on the Powerball this summer as the jackpot crept close to an all-time Lottery record. Now, Lottery players can see several draw games with eye-popping prizes.

After players in Texas and Missouri split $1.8 billion jackpot in early September, themultistate Powerball game has spent the past month climbing and is now at $195 million heading into Saturday’s drawing.
