Powerball Jackpot Reaches $99 Million in Upcoming Saturday Drawing
In New York City, the Powerball jackpot for the drawing scheduled on Saturday, September 20, 2025, has surged to an estimated $99 million. Players have the option to take a cash payout of $46 million if they win. This jackpot, while substantial, is below the record-setting $1.787 billion won on September 6, 2025, which was shared by two winners from Missouri and Texas.
Recent Winning Numbers and Drawing Details
The winning numbers for this latest drawing are 15, 29, 64, 66, 67, with the Powerball number 4. The Power Play multiplier for this drawing was 2x, allowing players who added the feature to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by up to two times.
Powerball drawings are held three times weekly, occurring every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. As always, ticket sales deadlines vary by state; for example, in New Jersey, tickets must be purchased by 9:59 p.m., while in New York, the cutoff is 10 p.m. on drawing days. Players can buy tickets in person at retail locations or online through authorized services in select areas.
How to Play and Prizes
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2. Players 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 the numbers. There is an additional Power Play option for $1, which can increase non-jackpot prizes up to five times, or ten times if the jackpot is below $150 million.
Odds and Prize Structure
The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Small prizes are awarded for matching just the Powerball (as little as $4), or for matching five white balls (except in California), where the prize can be up to $1 million. Matching all six numbers wins the jackpot.
Additional Features and Next Draw
Double Play is an optional feature that offers an additional prize drawing with a chance to win up to $10 million. The upcoming Powerball draw is scheduled for Monday, September 22, 2025.
Results are announced live during the broadcast and subsequently posted on various official lottery websites. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, as well as in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tickets can be purchased either in person or remotely, where permitted by state regulations, via authorized online platforms like the Jackpocket app.
Important Notes for Participants
Participants should be aware that each state has its procedures regarding lottery regulations and policies around claiming prizes anonymously. The overall odds of winning the jackpot remain extremely low, emphasizing the game’s chance-based nature. Players are encouraged to gamble responsibly and seek help if gambling becomes problematic, as resources are available for problem gambling support.
Summary
With the jackpot reaching nearly $100 million, millions of players across multiple states are likely to participate in this weekend’s Powerball drawing. As the jackpot continues to grow without a recent winner, the prize pool is expected to increase even further. The next scheduled drawing, along with the optional features like Power Play and Double Play, keeps interest high among hopeful players aiming for life-changing winnings.
