When and What Time Is the Next Powerball Drawing? Jackpot Soars to $1.3 Billion

The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday, September 3, 2025. The drawing will take place at 10:59 p.m. ET. The jackpot has surged to an estimated $1.30 billion.

This is the fifth-largest Powerball jackpot ever. It ranks ninth among the biggest U.S. lottery prizes. No ticket matched all six numbers in the last draw on Monday.

When and What Time Is the Next Powerball Drawing?

Powerball drawings happen three times each week. You can play on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. All drawings occur at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

Tonight’s jackpot stands at $1.30 billion. If you choose the cash option, the prize is $589 million. According to Powerball.com, this draw could make someone one of the richest lottery winners in history.

Many players missed Monday’s win by just one number. Several tickets across the U.S. matched five numbers but missed the Powerball. These winners took home $1 million each.

Tickets were sold in New Jersey, California, Florida, and other states. Some added the Power Play option and won $2 million. But the grand prize remains unclaimed.

What You Need to Know Before the Powerball Drawing

If you want a chance to win, buy your ticket before the cut-off time. Most states stop sales 1–2 hours before the draw. Each ticket costs $2. Add Power Play for an extra $1. You can also add Double Play for another $1.

To win the jackpot, you must match five white balls and the red Powerball. But even one match can win a small prize. Matching just the Powerball gets you $4.

If no one wins tonight, the jackpot will grow again. That makes every draw more exciting. The larger the jackpot, the more players join in.

Powerball has already had four big winners in 2025. These include jackpots won in California, Oregon, and Kentucky. Will tonight bring a fifth?

Don’t forget to check your numbers tonight. A billion-dollar fortune could be just one ticket away.
