When Is the Next Powerball Drawing? Jackpot Soars to $1.1 Billion for Labor Day

The Powerball jackpot has climbed again. As of Monday, September 1, 2025, the jackpot is estimated at $1.1 billion. The next Powerball drawing will take place tonight at 10:59 p.m. ET. This marks one of the largest jackpots in Powerball history.

The drawing will be streamed live at Powerball.com and aired on select local stations.

Powerball Jackpot Grows Ahead of September 1 Drawing

Saturday’s drawing on August 30 did not produce a jackpot winner.

The winning numbers were 3, 18, 22, 27, 33, and Powerball 17. The Power Play was 3X. Because no one matched all six, the prize rolled over again.

Tonight’s jackpot is the fifth-largest Powerball prize ever. According to Powerball.com, the cash value is $498.4 million before taxes.

The last jackpot was won in California on May 31, 2025. That triggered what’s now a 40-draw streak with no grand prize winner.

Tickets cost $2. Players can add Power Play and Double Play for $1 each.

What to Know Before You Buy Your Powerball Ticket

Drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets are available in 45 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.

Even if you don’t hit the jackpot, other prizes range from $4 to $1 million (or $2 million with Power Play). Several players matched five numbers last Saturday, winning $1 million each. A few with Power Play won $2 million.

The Powerball Double Play offers a second chance to win up to $10 million.

Why This Powerball Drawing Is One of the Biggest Ever

This Labor Day draw could make someone incredibly rich.

It’s the fifth-largest jackpot in Powerball’s history, just behind the $1.326 billion jackpot from April 6, 2024. That record run had 42 consecutive drawings before a winner emerged.

If there’s no winner tonight, the jackpot may break into the top 3 all-time. That would bring even more attention.

Powerball jackpots are taxable. Winners can take an annuity paid over 30 years or a one-time cash option. Most go for the lump sum.

Don’t forget: if you win, sign your ticket and keep it safe. Then, consult a financial advisor before claiming your prize.

The next Powerball drawing is set for tonight, Monday, September 1, 2025. Get your tickets before 9:59 p.m. ET to enter.
