Missouri – Two tickets sold in Missouri and Texas matched all six numbers in the Powerball drawing held on Saturday, September 6, 2025, winning a historic jackpot worth $1.787 billion. This significant event marks the second-largest lottery jackpot ever won in the United States, following the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot that was won in California on November 7, 2022.
The winning numbers for the latest drawing were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, with the red Powerball number being 17. Each of the two winners will have the option to choose between an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment of $410.3 million, before taxes. The annuity option would provide the winner with an initial payment followed by 29 annual payments, with each subsequent payment increasing by 5% each year.
More than 9.9 million tickets from this drawing won cash prizes, illustrating the popularity of the game. Additionally, winning tickets totaling $1 million were sold in multiple states, including New York, New Jersey, and California, among others. In fact, during the jackpot run, New Jersey alone sold 67 winning tickets, which included five tickets that won the $1 million prize.
The winning ticket holders emerged following an unprecedented streak of 42 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner, which began after the last jackpot was won in California on May 31, 2025. As a result of this win, the Powerball jackpot will reset to $20 million for the next drawing scheduled for Monday night.
Additional Prizes and Players
During the recent drawing, a total of 20 players won the third-place prize of $50,000 each across various locations in New York. Powerball tickets are priced at $2, and players can purchase them until 10 p.m. on draw nights. In light of the draw’s excitement, the New York Lottery reported a contribution of $3.8 billion to public schools in New York State for the fiscal year 2023-2024.
Game Mechanics
The Powerball game draws its winning numbers from a pool of white balls numbered from 1 to 69 and a separate field for the red Powerball numbered 1 to 26. Players can check their ticket results using the New York Lottery app. For individuals who may be struggling with gambling addiction, resources such as the state’s toll-free HOPEline are available for assistance.
This recent jackpot success emphasizes not only the thrill of the lottery but also the significant funds it generates for public initiatives and support services. With millions participating weekly, Powerball remains a vital player in the American lottery landscape.
