US EditionHere Are the Top Powerball Winners of All Time: California Dominates
The Powerball jackpot has grown due to 41 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner, now reaching $1.7 billion with a $770.3 million cash value, officials said.
- An estimated $1.7 billion jackpot now stands for Powerball after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Sept. 3, 2025 drawing, ranking as the third-largest U.S. lottery jackpot in history.
- After weeks without a grand-prize winner, the Sept. 3 drawing marked the 41st consecutive round without a grand-prize winner since May 31, 2025, causing a rollover from the prior $1.4 billion jackpot level.
- The drawing produced those specific winning numbers: 3, 16, 29, 61, 69; Powerball 22, with eleven $1 million winners and $2 million winners in Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Wyoming.
- The next drawing is set for Saturday, Sept. 6, with a winner able to choose an annuity option over 30 years or a $770.3 million lump sum before taxes.
- By historical standards, this jackpot ranks just behind the $2.04 billion Nov. 7, 2022 and $1.765 billion Oct. 11, 2023 prizes, while Illinois Lottery sales since June 2, 2025 returned nearly $29.5 million to the state's Common School Fund.
