Post-Thanksgiving 2025 Powerball Jackpot Expected To Be $719 Million, According To NH Lottery

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Lottery says the second-largest Powerball jackpot of the year should grow to $719 million by the time the drawing is held on Saturday night.

No one has won for 36 consecutive drawings since the $1.8 billion jackpot in early September.

“What better way to close out the Thanksgiving and Black Friday weekend than with a chance to win this $700 million-plus Powerball jackpot,” Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, said. “Imagine the amount of online shopping you could do for Cyber Monday if you won this prize. Our sales have been building momentum as this jackpot has grown over the past several weeks, with both retailers and NH iLottery reporting strong sales.”

The one-time cash payout is expected to be $333.3 million before taxes.

McIntyre added: “Just remember, it only takes one to win, so visit your local retailer or NH iLottery to buy your tickets for a chance to be our next big New Hampshire winner.”

Powerball drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights, and tickets can be purchased online as well as at more than 1,200 retail outlets around the Granite State.
