Powerball jackpot swells to $99 million ahead of September 20 drawing

DENVER – The eagerly awaited Powerball drawing on Saturday night, September 20, 2025, presents a jackpot estimated at $99 million, with a substantial cash option available at $46 million. This follows a historic jackpot that was last claimed on September 6, 2025, when two winners from Missouri and Texas split a staggering $1.787 billion, marking it as the second-largest Powerball jackpot in history.

As players gear up for the upcoming drawing, the official winning numbers for September 20 are 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, with the Powerball number being 4. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing is set at 2x, providing participants with the opportunity to increase their non-jackpot winnings.

The Powerball game is a widely popular lottery draw held three times weekly, occurring on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings at 10:59 p.m. ET. Lottery enthusiasts can purchase tickets across 45 states, in addition to Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, via authorized retailers or through select online platforms such as the Jackpocket app.

Ticket prices are standard at $2, with an additional $1 option for players wishing to activate the Power Play feature, which enhances non-jackpot prizes by up to five times (or ten times if the jackpot is below $150 million). To participate, players are required to select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the Powerball.

The lottery offers various prize levels, starting from $4 for simply matching the Powerball number, escalating to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California), and ultimately attaining the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers. The overall odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are calculated at 1 in 292.2 million. Importantly, players can still win a prize if they match just the Powerball number.

If there is no jackpot winner, the prize pool accumulates for the next drawing, increasing the potential for larger winnings. The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025.

For those looking for an extra chance, the Double Play feature allows participants to enter an additional drawing, where they can win up to $10 million. Live broadcasts of the drawings are available, with results promptly posted on the official Powerball website as well as on state lottery platforms.

It is recommended that participants familiarize themselves with their local lottery regulations, including ticket sales deadlines, which can vary by state. For example, New Jersey’s deadline is set at 9:59 p.m., while New York’s cutoff is at 10 p.m. on drawing days.

As players engage in the excitement of the lottery, it’s essential to remain aware of responsible gambling practices. Resources and assistance for problem gambling are available for those in need.
