News Summary

The Powerball jackpot has soared to $99 million, with a cash option of $46 million for the upcoming drawing. This follows a record win of $1.787 billion earlier this month. Players can enter by selecting five numbers and the Powerball number, with ticket costs at $2. Winnings range from $4 up to $1 million, depending on the matches. The next drawing promises even more excitement for hopeful players.

New York City – The Powerball jackpot for the upcoming drawing on Saturday night, September 20, 2025, has reached an estimated total of $99 million, with a cash option of $46 million. This prize comes on the heels of a significant win earlier this month when two players from Missouri and Texas shared a record jackpot of $1.787 billion, marking the second largest Powerball jackpot in history.

The winning numbers for the September 20 drawing have been announced as follows: 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, with the Powerball number being 4. Additionally, the Power Play multiplier for this drawing is set at 2x, which could double the non-jackpot prizes for players.

Powerball drawings are held three times each week, specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players in different states have varying sales deadlines for ticket purchases; for example, the cutoff in New Jersey is 9:59 p.m., whereas in New York, it is 10 p.m. on the nights of the drawings.

The cost of a Powerball ticket is $2, and players have the option to add the Power Play feature for an additional $1. This optional feature allows winners to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by up to five times, or ten times if the jackpot is below $150 million. To participate, players must select five numbers from a range of 1 to 69 for the white balls, as well as one number from 1 to 26 for the Powerball. Alternatively, participants can use a Quick Pick, which randomly generates numbers.

Prize amounts vary within the Powerball game; players can win $4 for simply matching the Powerball and up to $1 million for matching all five white balls. In California, prize payouts differ due to the state’s unique lottery structure. If no one wins the jackpot, the cash prize will continue to grow for the next drawing, creating even more excitement for players.

The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday, September 22, 2025. Players also have the option of entering the Double Play feature, which provides an additional drawing with the potential to win up to $10 million.

Powerball tickets are available for purchase in 45 states across the U.S., along with Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be bought either in person at authorized retailers or online through the Jackpocket app in select jurisdictions. Participants should note that the overall odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million and it is also possible to win by matching just the Powerball number.

Players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with local lottery regulations and the rules regarding anonymous winnings, as these can vary from state to state. Additionally, resources for gambling assistance are available for those in need of help regarding problem gambling.

The results of the Powerball drawing are broadcast live and posted promptly on both Powerball and state lottery websites, ensuring winners can check their numbers quickly and easily. For many, the prospect of winning a life-changing amount of money adds an electrifying thrill to the game of Powerball.
