Powerball Jackpot and Recent Big Wins
The Powerball drawing on September 6, 2025, produced a jackpot totaling approximately $1.8 billion, making it the second-largest in U.S. history. Two fortunate winners—one in Missouri and another in Texas—each have the option to take a lump sum payout of approximately $410.3 million before taxes or an annuity valued at about $893.5 million.
The winner in Texas purchased their winning ticket at a gas station in Fredericksburg. The last Powerball jackpot was claimed earlier in May 2025. The next scheduled Powerball drawing is set for September 8, 2025.
How to Play Powerball
Powerball tickets can be purchased for $2, with sales available at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and online in states where such options are permitted. Players select five white ball numbers (1-69) and one red Powerball (1-26). An optional Power Play feature, costing an additional $1, offers the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes up to 10 times.
Drawings are held three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings. When no jackpot winner emerges, the prize amount increases, creating larger potential winnings for subsequent draws.
Digital Play and Additional Options
Players interested in digital lottery play can use mobile apps such as Jackpocket, which is available in several states. This service provides a convenient way to participate in the lottery without physically purchasing tickets.
Conclusion
The South Carolina Education Lottery continues to offer various games and big jackpots, with numerous winners claiming prizes regularly. Whether players participate for fun or for a chance at multimillion-dollar prizes, understanding the rules for claiming winnings and the schedule of upcoming draws remains essential.
