12 Arizona Players Score Big in Latest Powerball Drawing

Arizona is buzzing with lottery fever after the latest Powerball drawing. While no one snagged the massive jackpot this time, 12 winning tickets popped up across the state, giving plenty of players something to celebrate.

Highlights from the draw:

• 12 tickets scored payouts ranging from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand.

• Some matched four numbers plus the Powerball, others matched five numbers without hitting the jackpot.

• Winners bought their tickets at a mix of small corner shops and larger chain retailers—many now considered “lucky” spots.

Even though these wins don’t hit the billion-dollar mark, the prizes are still enough to cover bills, fund a vacation, or boost a savings account.

Lottery officials are reminding everyone to double-check their tickets—many smaller prizes go unclaimed each year simply because people forget. With so many winners scattered across Arizona, it’s likely a few haven’t realized their good fortune yet.

Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot itself keeps rolling over and climbing higher, fueling the excitement nationwide. Across the country, long lines at gas stations and corner stores show how big jackpots create a shared sense of anticipation. Conversations of “what if” start at workplaces, family dinners, and even casual meet-ups, making the lottery more about the thrill of possibility than just the odds.

Arizona has seen plenty of winners before, and now a dozen more names can be added to that list. The jackpot may still be waiting for its next big claimant, but these 12 wins prove one thing—you don’t have to hit the jackpot to walk away with life-changing luck.
