The Powerball lottery announced the results of the draw for Monday, September 8, 2025. Just two days after the first historic jackpot was won, the game kicked off with a fresh prize pool and players all over the U.S. could take their chance once again. Below are your winning numbers and all the additional information you need.
Winning Numbers for September 8, 2025
The winning numbers for the September 8, 2025 Powerball draw were:

Did Anyone Win the Powerball Lottery
The Powerball draw on September 8, 2025 was only two days removed from the near record-breaking $1.787 billion jackpot that was hit on September 6, 2025. That player had already claimed that jackpot and so the Powerball jackpot reset to just $20 million for this Monday night draw. No player matched all six numbers in the official lottery results from that night, meaning that the jackpot rolled over to the next draw. Not all hope was lost for lotto tickets that night, however, as the 3× Power Play multiplier was in place in this drawing and several tickets also won some smaller prizes — just no prizes big enough were won to knock out the top award. The fun continues for players as they continue to look for the jackpot to climb. Prize breakdowns for winnings at the lower level are still forthcoming from the lottery and will be shared soon by the officials.
Recent Powerball Jackpot History
The Powerball draw on September 8th, 2025 occurred just days after a life-changing jackpot win. On September 6, a single ticket won the largest jackpot on record, at $1.787 billion! The story was everywhere, from the websites, to online videos, and even on television. Their $1.787 billion jackpot was a record, so wherever they were in the United States, they assumed that $20 million was also a record for a starting jackpot. And it was: the jackpot reset to the minimum on the Monday night draw. No one matched all the numbers on that draw. That is interesting because the jackpots now progress as a rolling jackpot, so there is some suspense as to how big the next jackpot will be since all of the players get a shot at a million dollar jackpot at least!
When Is the Next Powerball Draw
The next Powerball draw is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 10:59 PM ET. As no one won the jackpot on September 8, the prize pool will climb above $20 million, leaving players with another chance to become potently rich!
Players can purchase tickets entry until 9:59 PM ET on the day of the draw, although entry deadlines will vary by state.
How to Play Powerball
Playing Powerball is simple and millions of people across the country play. Powerball is only $2 per ticket, and you need to think about your numbers with the following steps:
- Pick five numbers between 1 and 69 (the white balls).
- Pick one number between 1 and 26 (the red Powerball).
If you get all six numbers, you win the jackpot.
For an extra dollar you could add the Power Play option, which can multiply non-jackpot prize values higher. The payout will depend on what the multiplier number is (2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, sometimes even 10×). Some examples here would be the five numbers that will be worth $50,000, or the four white balls plus Powerball will be worth $100. So Power Play can increase your payout options.
You can buy tickets from a licensed retailer, and within some states, through official lottery websites, or apps. In most states you just need to be at least 18 years of age to play.
How to Claim Powerball Lottery Prize
The prize claiming process is determined by the amount you win.
- Small prizes (usually less than $600) can be claimed at any authorized lottery retailers.
- Medium prizes require you to visit a state lottery office.
- Jackpot winners must follow the official process designated by their state lottery. This may involve identification, signing the ticket and completing documented tax forms.
After you buy your ticket, the very first thing you want to do is sign the back of your ticket, to help secure your claim.
