When Is the Next Powerball Drawing? Jackpot Resets After $1.8 Billion Win

Two Powerball players in Missouri and Texas have split the massive $1.8 billion jackpot. That drawing ended months of rollovers. Now the jackpot has reset to $20 million. The next Powerball drawing will be held on Monday, Sept. 8, at 10:59 p.m. ET.

Powerball drawings happen three times each week. They take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night. Players can watch the draw live on television or through the official Powerball website. According to the Associated Press, tickets cost $2 each and are sold in most states across the country.

Powerball Jackpot Resets to $20 Million

The new jackpot now stands at $20 million. The cash value is about $9 million before taxes. This comes after the historic $1.8 billion prize was claimed by two winning tickets. Both winners are allowed to remain anonymous under their state rules.

Ohio players also walked away with big wins from the same drawing. Two tickets worth $1 million each were sold in Columbus and Woodstock. Another two $100,000 tickets were sold in Struthers and Geneva. Lottery officials confirmed these wins over the weekend.

In Ohio, the deadline to buy tickets is 10 p.m. ET on drawing days. Tickets can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. The Ohio Lottery reminds players that all prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.

How to Play and Claim Winnings

Powerball is one of the most popular lottery games in the United States. Each ticket costs $2. Players pick five numbers plus one Powerball number. To win the jackpot, all six numbers must match.

If you win less than $600, you can cash in at any Ohio Lottery retailer. Prizes between $600 and $5,000 must be processed at an authorized bank. Winnings above $5,000 are claimed through an Ohio Lottery office. Players can choose between annual payments or a lump-sum cash payout.

According to Reuters, jackpots grow quickly because no one often matches all six numbers. That is why Powerball prizes can reach into the billions before a winner emerges. Still, even smaller prizes can change lives for many lucky players.

The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday night. Players have until 10 p.m. ET in Ohio to get their tickets. The jackpot is $20 million, with a $9 million cash option.
