On the night of April 23, 2025, anticipation reached a fever pitch across Arizona as lottery enthusiasts tuned in to discover the latest winning numbers for two of the state’s most popular lottery games—Powerball and The Pick. As the numbers were revealed, dreams were made, hearts raced, and some players may have found their luck finally aligned.
Powerball: The Nation’s Favorite Jackpot Game
Powerball, known nationwide for its colossal jackpots, is played in 45 states, including Arizona. Every Wednesday and Saturday, players select five white balls from a pool of 69 and one red Powerball from a separate pool of 26. Matching all six numbers secures the jackpot, which can reach into the hundreds of millions.
On April 23, 2025, the Powerball winning numbers were:
14 – 27 – 33 – 45 – 52
Powerball: 9
Power Play: 3x
While the grand jackpot wasn’t claimed this time around, several Arizonans still walked away with impressive prizes. Matching five white balls without the Powerball would have secured a $1 million prize. With the Power Play multiplier set at 3x, secondary prizes were significantly boosted for those who opted for that feature.
Among the notable wins in Arizona, one lucky ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball, earning a $50,000 prize. With the Power Play, this win jumped to $150,000. This prize-winning ticket was sold in Maricopa County, drawing attention to a local convenience store that has now become a magnet for hopeful lottery players.
The Pick: Arizona’s Exclusive Jackpot Game
Unlike Powerball, which is shared across many states, The Pick is Arizona’s very own lottery game, available only to residents and visitors in the Grand Canyon State. It’s a classic 6/44 draw, where players pick six numbers between 1 and 44. The jackpot begins at $1 million and rolls over if no one wins, growing until someone matches all six.
For April 23, 2025, The Pick winning numbers were:
6 – 13 – 22 – 29 – 34 – 41
This draw saw no jackpot winner, meaning the top prize will roll over, making the next draw even more exciting. However, dozens of players did score smaller prizes. Matching five out of six numbers yields a handsome sum, while even three matched numbers can return a modest payout.
In total, over 10,000 Arizona players won something in this round of The Pick. Among the most notable were three tickets that matched five numbers, with each ticket winning $2,000. These lucky entries came from Tucson, Chandler, and Prescott respectively—three cities that now have a little more lottery buzz going around.
Growing Jackpots, Growing Hopes
With no jackpot winners in either Powerball or The Pick on April 23, the stakes have now risen for both games. The Powerball jackpot has swelled to an estimated $96 million for the next drawing, while The Pick’s top prize has grown to $3.1 million.
These escalating jackpots are likely to drive even more ticket sales, as Arizonans chase the dream of financial freedom and lifelong security. The allure of winning big with a simple $2 or $3 ticket remains as powerful as ever.
Playing Responsibly Amid the Excitement
While dreams of luxury cars, new homes, and exotic vacations swirl through the minds of players, lottery officials are reminding participants to play responsibly. Lottery games are designed to be fun and should never be seen as a way to guarantee wealth. The Arizona Lottery encourages players to set budgets, treat lottery purchases as entertainment, and seek help if gambling ever stops being a game.
For those looking to try their luck, Arizona offers numerous ways to play, including in-person tickets at licensed retailers and convenient digital purchases via official lottery platforms. Quick Picks—where the system randomly selects your numbers—remain a popular option, especially among those who believe that fate knows best.
The Human Side of the Lottery
Beyond the numbers and prize money, the Arizona Lottery has a deeper purpose. A significant portion of proceeds from each ticket sold goes toward state-funded programs. These include education, wildlife conservation, health services, and public safety. In many ways, even non-winners are contributing to the betterment of Arizona through their participation.
This mission-driven approach has helped build public trust in the system and ensures that lottery excitement has a meaningful impact. In fact, since its inception in 1980, the Arizona Lottery has given back more than $5 billion to vital state programs.
What’s Next?
As Arizonans check and double-check their numbers from April 23, attention now turns to the next drawing. Will a lucky player finally strike gold with Powerball? Will The Pick finally see a new millionaire crowned?
Only time will tell. For now, the buzz continues to build, the lines at lottery retailers get a little longer, and across the state, hope lives on in every ticket.
Whether you matched numbers this time or not, one thing is certain: the next draw is just around the corner, and with it, another chance to turn a dream into reality.
