The Powerball lottery drew numbers 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, and Powerball 5 on September 1 without producing a jackpot winner. The prize now stands at an eye-popping $1.3 billion for the next draw. Players face odds of 1 in 292.2 million but the chance could bring life-changing money to one lucky ticket holder.
The jackpot winner can select a cash option worth about $589 million or opt for annual installments exceeding $5 million over 30 years. Purchasing tickets at $2 each, players can also increase winnings with the Power Play feature.
Previous huge jackpots, including a $2 billion record win in 2022, inspire dreams for lottery hopefuls nationwide. Whether buying online or in-store, millions chase the chance to win big.
