Powerball Jackpot Reaches $99 Million with Winning Numbers Announced for September 20, 2025
In Washington, the Powerball Jackpot for the Saturday night drawing on September 20, 2025, has increased to an estimated $99 million. The cash option for the prize is approximately $46 million. This lottery game continues to attract players nationwide as the jackpot nears the hundred-million-dollar mark.
Recent Jackpot and Recent Winners
The last time the Powerball was won was on September 6, 2025, when two lucky players from Missouri and Texas split a record-setting jackpot of $1.787 billion. This marks the second-largest Powerball jackpot in history. Since then, the jackpot has rolled over as no new winner claimed the top prize in the Saturday night drawing.
Winning Numbers and Drawing Details
The winning numbers for the September 20 drawing were 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, and the Powerball number was 4. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 2x, which can double non-jackpot prizes if players purchased that feature.
Schedule and Ticket Purchase Information
Powerball drawings take place three times weekly, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Participants should be aware that ticket sales deadlines vary by state— for example, in New Jersey, tickets must be purchased before 9:59 p.m., and in New York, by 10 p.m. on drawing days.
How to Play and Ticket Options
To participate, players purchase a ticket costing $2. They select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Alternatively, players can choose a Quick Pick option, where the machine randomly generates their numbers. For an additional $1, players can add the Power Play feature to potentially increase non-jackpot wins by up to five times, or even ten times if the jackpot remains below $150 million.
Prize Structure and Odds
Prizes vary based on the number of matches: matching just the Powerball yields a $4 prize, while matching five white balls (excluding California, which offers a different prize structure) can win $1 million. The grand prize for matching all six numbers is the jackpot, which can be won outright. The overall odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
Where and How to Purchase Tickers
Tickets are available in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players can purchase tickets either in person at authorized lottery retailers or via online platforms, such as the Jackpocket app, in select jurisdictions.
Additional Drawing Options and Future Games
In addition to the standard Powerball game, the Double Play feature provides an opportunity for an extra drawing with top prizes reaching up to $10 million. The next scheduled Powerball drawing will occur on Monday, September 22, 2025.
Results and Responsible Gaming
The winning numbers are broadcast live during the draw, with results promptly posted on Powerball and individual state lottery websites. Players are encouraged to check their tickets against official winning numbers. As with all gambling activities, participants should be aware of local regulations, including rules regarding winner anonymity, which can vary by state. Resources for problem gambling support are available for individuals seeking help.
