Los Angeles, CA, September 15, 2025

News Summary

The Powerball jackpot has now reached a whopping $50 million after no tickets matched the winning numbers in the last drawing. Participants can opt for a one-time cash payment of $23.4 million and there are exciting opportunities to win substantial cash prizes even if the jackpot remains unclaimed. As anticipation builds for the next drawing, players are urged to check their numbers and participate in this thrilling lottery game.

Los Angeles, CA – The Powerball jackpot has soared to $50 million for the drawing scheduled on Saturday, September 13, after no ticket holders successfully matched the winning numbers in the previous drawing held on Wednesday, September 10. This prize marks a significant increase, providing an enticing opportunity for lifelong financial changes for potential winners.

Participants who successfully match all five numbers, along with the Powerball, have the option to choose a one-time cash payment of $23.4 million before taxes. This enticing cash value greatly increases the appeal of the game, especially as the jackpot continues to grow in the absence of a grand prize winner.

The winning numbers from the most recent drawing on September 10 were 28, 37, 42, 50, 53, with the Powerball being 19. Despite no jackpot winners, there were some notable victories. Four players managed to win the Match 5 prize, each taking home $1 million from their tickets purchased in California, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Maryland.

The upcoming Powerball drawing will occur on Monday, September 15, at 11 p.m. ET. Players eager to try their luck can purchase tickets for $2 each at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and airport terminals. In some states, tickets can also be bought online.

How to Play Powerball

To participate in Powerball, players must select six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1-69 and one red Powerball number between 1-26. Additionally, there is a “Power Play” option available for an extra $1, which multiplies winnings for non-jackpot prizes by factors of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times, further enhancing the game’s potential rewards.

For those who prefer not to choose their own numbers, the “Quick Pick” option allows for a computer-generated selection, streamlining the purchasing process for participants.

Recent Drawings and Outcomes

In the drawing held on September 13, no jackpot winners were recorded. However, New York saw two lucky Powerball tickets sold that matched four out of five numbers. One ticket was worth $50,000, and the other, which included the Power Play option, was worth $100,000. Additionally, another third-prize ticket valued at $50,000 was sold at a Walmart in Newark, NY.

Moreover, there were 44 fourth-place tickets sold in New York, resulting in various winnings of $100 and $200. These prizes illustrate the ongoing excitement that surrounds Powerball and the significant cash prizes that can be won, even if the jackpot remains elusive.

Background on Powerball

Powerball is a popular lottery game played across the United States, with drawings taking place three times a week: on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. The game has transformed many lives through its life-changing jackpots since its inception, with players flocking to participate regularly.
