Powerball Draws Numbers for $1.8 Billion Jackpot, Second-Largest in U.S. History
The Powerball lottery conducted a drawing for an estimated $1.8 billion jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. history, with winning numbers 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Powerball 17.
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, the Powerball lottery held a drawing for an estimated $1.8 billion jackpot, marking the second-largest in U.S. lottery history. The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, and 62, with a Powerball number of 17. As of late Saturday night, it was not confirmed whether any ticket matched all six numbers to claim the top prize.
The jackpot has been accumulating since May 31, resulting in 40 consecutive drawings without a winner. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. If a winner is declared, they can choose between an annuitized prize of $1.8 billion, paid over 29 years, or a lump sum payment estimated at $826.4 million, both before taxes.
Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays—at 10:59 p.m. ET, broadcast live from Tallahassee, Florida.
