Did anyone win the Powerball on September 11? What to know about the jackpot and next drawing

Learn everything you need to know about the Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, including how to play and when to watch the draw.

The Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots are known for reaching astronomical amounts, capturing the attention and dreams of lottery players everywhere. While the recent Powerball drawing did not produce any big prize winners, the estimated $527 million jackpot with a cash value of $254.9 million is still up for grabs in the upcoming Sept. 13 drawing. Although these jackpots have reached impressive heights in 2023, the Powerball jackpot has not yet broken any records.

If you're feeling lucky and want to try your hand at winning the Powerball jackpot, there are a few things you need to know. First, let's take a look at the winning numbers from the recent drawing: 9, 25, 27, 53, 66, with a Powerball number of 5 and a Power Play of 2X. While no one claimed the big prize from this drawing, it's important to note that matching all six numbers is not necessary to win a prize on the Powerball. In fact, one lucky ticket purchased in Michigan matched the first five numbers and won $1 million, excluding the Powerball number.

To participate in the Powerball, you can purchase a ticket for $2 per play. Additionally, for an extra $1 per play, you can opt for the Power Play feature, which multiplies your winnings. The Powerball drawings take place three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET or 7:59 p.m. Arizona time. The next drawing will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 13, at the same time.

If you're wondering how to claim your prize, it's important to know that there are two payout options. The first option allows you to receive the jackpot amount spread out over 30 years as an annual payment, while the second option gives you just over half of the jackpot amount as a lump sum payment. It's crucial to carefully consider which option is best for you before making a decision.

Even if you don't win the jackpot, there are still opportunities to win smaller prizes by matching five numbers on your ticket. In fact, you only need to match one number to win a prize. The Powerball website provides a helpful chart to see what you've won if you don't hit the jackpot.

To purchase a ticket, you can use the "Where to Play" map on the Arizona Lottery website to find the nearest store. Alternatively, you can also watch the Powerball drawing live on the lottery website or on a local television station in your area.

So, as the Powerball jackpot continues to grow and capture the attention of hopeful players, it's important to remember that winning isn't everything. Even if you don't hit the jackpot, there are still opportunities to win smaller prizes and fulfill your dreams. Good luck!
