Powerball Winning Numbers and Prize Details
Powerball is one of the most popular lotteries in the United States. It is played in 45 states along with Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The game continues to attract millions of players due to its life-changing jackpots.
On September 6, two players in Texas and one in Missouri shared the massive $1.8 billion jackpot. That historic win reset the pot to $20 million, which has now grown to $33 million. A single ticket costs $2. Players can opt for the Power Play for an additional $1, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to five times.
The Double Play feature gives players another chance to win. It is available in select jurisdictions such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. Double Play tickets cost an additional $1 and offer a top prize of $10 million.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain at 1 in 292.2 million. Even though the chances are slim, the excitement of a win keeps players coming back each week.
How to Play Powerball and Claim Prizes
Playing Powerball is simple. A player selects five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. They can also choose the quick pick option for random selections. Drawings are held three times a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Ticket sales close at 9:45 p.m. Eastern, just before the drawing.
Winners can choose between the annuity option, which pays out the full jackpot over 30 years, or a lump sum cash payout. The annuity option offers larger overall payments, while the lump sum gives immediate access to reduced winnings.
Prizes up to $600 can usually be claimed at local lottery retailers. Larger prizes must be claimed at state lottery offices. Winners are advised to sign their tickets immediately and consult tax experts before claiming large sums. According to Associated Press reports, the IRS withholds federal taxes on all winnings over $5,000, and state taxes may also apply.
What Comes Next for Powerball Players
The next Powerball drawing will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025. With no jackpot winner on Wednesday, the pot may grow further depending on ticket sales. Players nationwide will be watching closely to see if someone strikes it rich.
The Powerball winning numbers once again brought hope and excitement to millions. Whether small or large, every prize keeps the game alive. For many, the dream of becoming a Powerball champion continues into the next drawing.
