Jacksonville has celebrated its second $1 million Powerball winner in less than a month, after a lucky ticket was sold at a local Publix. The winning ticket, purchased at the Publix located at 7117 Merrill Road, matched five numbers in the Powerball drawing held on October 15, 2025. The winning numbers for this drawing were 10-13-28-34-47, with a Powerball number of 15 and a Power Play of 3x.
This win comes just weeks after another $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Jacksonville for the drawing on September 29, 2025. That winning ticket was acquired at Golden Ox Liquors on Normandy Boulevard. The city’s recent luck in the lottery has captured the attention of residents and players alike.
In the October 15 drawing, there was one other $1 million Powerball ticket winner, sold in Kentucky, indicating that the excitement of large winnings is spreading across states. As the Powerball jackpot continues to climb, the current estimated total for the next drawing, set for Saturday, October 18, 2025, stands at $295 million, with a cash value of approximately $138.1 million. The previous drawing saw no winners matching all the numbers and the Powerball, resulting in the roll-over of the jackpot.
Players looking to claim their Powerball prizes have a strict deadline; winnings must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing date. For the latest winner from October 15, the deadline to claim the prize is April 14, 2026. The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are 1 in 24.87, while the odds of winning the jackpot are significantly lower, at 1 in 292,201,338.
Jacksonville, located in Northeast Florida approximately 30 miles south of the Georgia state line, has seen a vibrant lottery scene. Florida law requires transparency regarding lottery winners; however, winners of higher prizes may temporarily be exempt from full public disclosure for 90 days after their win. This law aims to protect the privacy of winners while maintaining public interest in the state lottery.
The excitement surrounding the Powerball has not only affected the immediate winners but has also invigorated the local community and sparked interest across Florida. Lottery players in Jacksonville and beyond are drawn to the possibility of winning life-changing amounts, fueling ticket sales as they aim for the elusive jackpot.
As the next drawing approaches, all eyes will be on the Powerball numbers, with hopes high for yet another winner in Jacksonville, and across the state of Florida. Residents are encouraged to keep their tickets safe and stay alert for potential prize claims.
