Winning Powerball Numbers, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017

Here we go again, Powerball fans. The prize will plummet after a ticket matching all 6 numbers, including the Powerball number, won the $191.1 million prize on Wednesday, Oct. 25. The lottery officials announced the winning ticket was purchased in Louisiana.

No winning tickets won the Match Five Power Play, however five winners of $1 million dollar prizes came from the great state of Florida.

All in all, there were over 700,000 winning tickets, and over $7,500,000 worth of non-jackpot-prizes pulled in the drawing. 85,000 lucky Californians matched at least a few numbers to take home at least $4 each.

The winning numbers were: 18, 22, 29, 54, 57 with a Powerball number of 8.

Don't forget to check your tickets! and remember Saturday's drawing will return to a measly $40 million, with a cash payout of $25 million.

Each ticket costs $2. Draw sales cut off at least 59 minutes before the draw. In California, Powerball prize amounts are pari-mutuel, will vary depending on ticket sales and number of winners and will differ from the fixed prizes shown on the Powerball website.
