Powerball Drawings and Recent California Winners
The Powerball remains one of the most popular lottery games in the United States, and California is often home to some of its biggest winners. On Saturday, June 7, 2025, the winning Powerball numbers were 31, 36, 43, 48, 62 with the Powerball 25. The Power Play multiplier was 2x. No ticket matched all six numbers in this drawing, so the jackpot rolled over and increased to $54 million for the next draw. The cash option for this jackpot is $24.3 million, making it a significant prize for the next round.
Earlier in the week, on Wednesday, June 4, the Powerball numbers were 5, 17, 23, 35, 45 with Powerball 24 and a Power Play of 10x. Again, no one matched all six numbers, so the jackpot continued to grow. However, several players across the country matched five numbers, earning $1 million prizes. In the June 7 drawing, a ticket from Oregon matched five numbers for a $1 million prize. On June 4, tickets from Maryland and New York also matched five numbers for $1 million each. These results show that even when the jackpot is not won, there are still many opportunities for players to win large prizes.
California’s Recent Major Jackpot Wins
California has seen some remarkable lottery wins in recent months. The most notable recent win came on May 31, 2025, when a single ticket sold in California matched all five numbers plus the Powerball to win an estimated $207 million jackpot. The cash option for this prize was $92.7 million. This win ended a streak of rollovers and reset the Powerball jackpot to $20 million for the next drawing. The lucky winner has not yet been publicly identified, but the win has generated excitement throughout the state.
Other states also saw big wins on May 31. Tickets purchased in Florida and New Hampshire matched five numbers plus the Power Play, each earning $2 million prizes. In Florida, the winning Quick Pick ticket was bought at Peacock Liquor in Port St. Lucie. These wins show that while the jackpot is rare, significant prizes are awarded regularly. California’s recent success in the Powerball game has encouraged more players to participate, hoping to become the next big winner.
Record-Breaking California Lottery Winners
California is no stranger to record-breaking lottery wins. In recent history, Edwin Castro made headlines by claiming a $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot on Valentine’s Day. This remains the largest lottery prize ever awarded in the United States. Another major win occurred when a $515 million jackpot ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven near Disney. These stories inspire many Californians to try their luck, hoping to join the ranks of the state’s biggest winners.
As of June 7, 2025, there have been twelve U.S. lottery jackpots that have reached or surpassed $1 billion. Only once has a jackpot exceeded $2 billion, a record set by Edwin Castro. These milestones highlight the scale of the lottery and the life-changing impact it can have on winners. The excitement around these record wins continues to drive interest in the California Lottery and its many games.
How to Play and Claim Lottery Prizes in California
