The Powerball drawing on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025, produced these numbers: 8, 32, 52, 56, 64 with a red Powerball of 23. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
As of this report, no confirmed jackpot winner had been announced. The estimated jackpot for the drawing was $875 million (the one-time cash option was reported at about $403.6 million). That puts the prize among the largest in the game's history — a holiday-season headline-grabber whether someone claims it or it rolls again.
What these numbers mean for players
Match all five white balls plus the Powerball and you win the jackpot. The overall odds of doing that remain daunting: about 1 in 292.2 million. But smaller prizes are more common — matching five white balls without the Powerball still earns a hefty reward.
Recent drawings produced several big non-jackpot winners: in the Dec. 6 drawing a New Jersey ticket that included the Power Play matched five white numbers and won $2 million. Other $1 million five-number-only winners were sold in Florida, Georgia and Texas. New Jersey lottery officials said the $2 million ticket was purchased at Quick Stop Food Stores on South Branch Road in Hillsborough. State and local lotteries list claim deadlines and proof requirements, so winners should contact their state lottery offices promptly.
Why people pay attention now
The jackpot has been on a long roll since early September, fueled in part by the absence of a single winner on several consecutive draws. Big jackpots draw more players, which pushes the prize higher and often turns routine grocery-store stops into feverish hope. This year already produced the historic $1.787 billion Powerball split in September and several other seven-figure wins, so the public appetite for lottery headlines is high.
Powerball drawings take place live at 10:59 p.m. ET on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. If you bought a ticket, double-check the numbers and the rules for claiming prizes in your state — each jurisdiction sets its own deadlines and procedures.

If there’s a confirmed jackpot winner for Dec. 8, lottery officials typically announce the winning jurisdiction and the location where the ticket was sold once the claim is filed. Until then, the numbers above are what players should compare to their tickets.
Good luck, and play responsibly.
