Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $1.3 Billion, Fifth-Largest in Game, After Labor Day Drawing Produces No Winner

After about 40 rollovers, the next drawing offers a $589 million cash option before taxes.

Overview

  • Monday’s numbers were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53 with red Powerball 5 and a Power Play of 3, with no ticket matching all six.
  • The next drawing is Wednesday, Sept. 3, around 10:59 p.m. ET, which lottery officials say will be the 41st since the last jackpot win on May 31.
  • If won, the prize can be taken as a $1.30 billion annuity over 30 years with rising annual payments or a $589 million lump sum before taxes.
  • Winnings face a 24% federal withholding and potentially a 37% top federal rate plus state taxes, leaving a substantially smaller take-home amount.
  • Secondary prizes included two $2 million Power Play wins in Montana and North Carolina and ten $1 million tickets in nine states, plus many lower-tier winners such as $150,000 tickets in Ohio and a $1.378 million five-match in Sherman Oaks, California.
