Powerball Jackpot Reaches $99 Million as Winning Numbers Are Announced in New Jersey
Newark, NJ — The latest Powerball lottery drawing for Saturday night, September 20, 2025, has resulted in an estimated jackpot of $99 million. The cash option for winners is valued at approximately $46 million. This jackpot continues to attract players across multiple states as the prize pool nears the hundred-million-dollar mark.
Recent Jackpot History and Winning Numbers
The current jackpot was last won on September 6, 2025, by two ticket holders from Missouri and Texas, splitting a record-breaking $1.787 billion, which ranks as the second-largest Powerball prize ever awarded. Since that time, the jackpot has steadily climbed and remains unclaimed as of the latest drawing.
The winning numbers for September 20 are 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, with the Powerball number being 4. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 2x, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes if the Power Play option is purchased.
Drawing Details and Ticket Purchase Information
Powerball drawings are held three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Ticket sales close shortly before each drawing, with deadlines varying by state—such as 9:59 p.m. in New Jersey and 10 p.m. in New York on drawing days.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2. Players have the option to add the Power Play feature for an additional $1. This feature can boost non-jackpot winnings by up to five times, or up to 10 times if the jackpot is less than $150 million.
How to Play and Prize Structure
Participants select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Alternatively, players can choose a Quick Pick, allowing the lottery machine to generate random numbers automatically.
Prizes vary based on the number of matching numbers: matching only the Powerball wins $4; matching five white balls (except in California, where the prize is $1 million) results in a significant win; matching all six numbers secures the jackpot. Overall odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
Availability and Additional Features
Powerball tickets are available in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players can purchase tickets in person at authorized retailers or online in select locations through apps like Jackpocket.
In addition to the main game, players can participate in Double Play, which offers an additional drawing with a chance to win up to $10 million.
Next Drawing and How Results Are Announced
The upcoming Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025. The results are broadcast live and are promptly posted on the official Powerball and respective state lottery websites.
Notes for Participants and Responsible Gaming
Participants should be aware that each state has its own regulations regarding lottery games, including rules about anonymity of winners. The odds of winning the jackpot are extremely low, emphasizing the importance of responsible gaming.
Resources are available for individuals seeking assistance with gambling problems, encouraging responsible participation and awareness of potential risks associated with lottery playing.
Summary
As the Powerball jackpot nears $100 million, players across participating states are encouraged to check their tickets and enjoy the game responsibly. The combination of large jackpots and regular drawings keeps Powerball among the most popular lottery games in the United States, offering the chance for life-changing wins but also reminding participants to play responsibly and within their means.
