Powerball Jackpot for Sept. 6 Jumps to $1.8 Billion, Now the Second Largest Prize Ever
The jackpot has increased after 41 consecutive drawings without a winner, with $1 million prizes awarded across 10 states, officials said.
- Powerball officials announced a $1.8 billion jackpot for the drawing set at 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
- The jackpot reached this amount following 41 drawings in a row since May 31, 2025, without anyone claiming the grand prize, which was last won by a player in California.
- Players pick five white balls numbered between 1 and 69 plus a single red Powerball from 1 to 26; each ticket costs $2 and is available in 45 states as well as in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- The $1.8 billion prize ranks as the second-largest U.S. lottery jackpot behind the $2.04 billion won in California in November 2022, with a cash option estimated at $826.4 million.
- If no jackpot winner emerges Saturday, the grand prize for the next drawing could set a new world record, continuing the trend of growing prizes caused by multiple rollovers.
