As Powerball excitement builds nationwide, players anticipate a hefty jackpot of $99 million for the upcoming drawing. The recent record-breaking win of $1.787 billion attracts more hopefuls, with chances of winning boosted by the Power Play feature. The next drawing is on Monday, September 22.

New York City – The Powerball jackpot for the upcoming drawing on Saturday night, September 20, 2025, has reached an estimated total of $99 million. Players have the option to take a cash payout of $46 million if they win. The excitement grows as the lottery continues to capture the imaginations of hopeful players nationwide.

This hefty jackpot follows a record-breaking win that occurred on September 6, 2025, when two players from Missouri and Texas shared a massive $1.787 billion prize, marking it as the second largest Powerball jackpot in history. As the stakes remain high, the anticipation around Saturday’s drawing continues to build.

The winning numbers for the September 20 drawing have been determined as follows: 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, with the Powerball number being 4. In addition to the main draw, the Power Play multiplier was set at 2x, which could boost non-jackpot prizes significantly.

Powerball drawings occur three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players interested in participating should be mindful of state-specific ticket sales deadlines, such as New Jersey’s cutoff at 9:59 p.m. and New York’s at 10 p.m. on drawing days. A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, but players can opt-in for the Power Play feature for an additional $1, which enhances their chances of winning bigger prizes.

To play Powerball, participants must select five numbers from the range of 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the Powerball. For convenience, players can also utilize the Quick Pick option, allowing the lottery machine to generate random numbers for them.

Powerball offers a wide range of prizes, from $4 for matching just the Powerball up to $1 million for matching five white balls (with a few exceptions in California). To win the jackpot, players must match all six drawn numbers. If no one wins the jackpot in a given drawing, the cash prize continues to accumulate.

Powerball tickets are widely available, as they can be purchased in 45 states, along with Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, either in person at authorized retailers or online via the Jackpocket app in select areas. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million, a figure that reflects the incredible competition among players.

Players should also be aware of the Double Play feature, which allows for an additional drawing offering a chance to win up to $10 million. The Powerball drawing is broadcast live, with results posted on Powerball and state lottery websites shortly after.

Participants are encouraged to stay informed on their state’s lottery regulations, as rules and anonymous winning policies can differ. For those who require support related to gambling, various resources are available for problem gambling assistance.

As the excitement builds for the next drawing, scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025, hopeful players across the country eagerly await their chance to participate in this enduring lottery phenomenon.
