The Powerball jackpot has reached $1.8 billion. The drawing will be held tonight, Saturday, September 6, 2025. It is the second-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. The drawing starts at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Players across 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are waiting. The cash value is estimated at $826.4 million before taxes. The drawing follows 42 straight rollovers since May 31, according to Associated Press.
Powerball Drawing Tonight: Time and How to Watch
The Powerball drawing begins at 10:59 p.m. ET. You can watch it live on the official Powerball website. The Powerball YouTube channel also streams the drawing.
Local TV stations in many states air the drawing too. Check your state lottery’s official channel for broadcast details. Players must be of legal age in their state to buy tickets and watch.
Ticket sales close before the draw. Most states set the cutoff around one to two hours before 10:59 p.m. ET. For example, in Texas, the cutoff is 9 p.m. In New York, sales end at 10 p.m. Always confirm with your state lottery.
How to Buy Powerball Tickets Online and In-Store
A Powerball ticket costs $2. Players can add Power Play for $1 to multiply non-jackpot prizes. Another $1 adds the Double Play option for a second chance at $10 million.
Tickets are sold at lottery retailers nationwide. Some states also allow online sales. States such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey offer secure online ticket options. Always purchase only from official lottery platforms.
Players choose five numbers between 1 and 69 plus a Powerball from 1 to 26. Matching all six numbers wins the jackpot. Smaller prizes start at $4 for matching the Powerball.
What Happens If No One Wins?
If no ticket matches all six numbers tonight, the jackpot will roll over again. That would push Monday’s jackpot beyond the $2.04 billion record. Winners have 180 days to one year to claim prizes, depending on the state.
According to Reuters, millions of smaller prizes are awarded each draw. The odds of winning the jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million. Still, millions of players buy tickets for the dream of becoming a billionaire overnight.
Tonight’s Powerball drawing is one of the biggest in history. Check your tickets after 10:59 p.m. ET. You could be the next big winner.
