Powerball winning numbers Sept 3 2025: Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing produced 3, 16, 29, 61, 69 (white balls) and the Powerball 22, and the estimated jackpot sits at $1.40 billion. Officials say it’s still too soon to confirm whether any ticket matched all six numbers. If no jackpot ticket is verified, the prize will roll to Saturday’s draw.
Powerball drawing Sept 3 2025 — the numbers and immediate outcome
Wednesday’s drawing released the numbers above and carried a Power Play multiplier of 2×. Lottery officials raised the jackpot to $1.40 billion after reviewing ticket sales. The odds of winning the jackpot remain roughly 1 in 292.2 million, so large rollovers are common when no single ticket matches every number.
Did anyone win Powerball tonight (Sept. 3)? — winner status and verification
As of the latest updates, no confirmed jackpot winner has been announced for the Sept. 3 drawing. State lotteries are still verifying tickets; any jackpot winner must present the physical ticket to the state lottery for validation before the prize is certified and publicly announced.
Powerball payout and cash option — how prize money is paid
If a ticket matches all six numbers, the winner chooses between a 30-year annuity (paid in graduated payments) or a one-time cash option. For this drawing the annuity is estimated at $1.40 billion; the lump-sum cash value would be about $634.3 million before taxes. Smaller prize tiers (matching 3, 4, or 5 numbers) pay fixed amounts or are multiplied with Power Play.
How Powerball Double Play and Power Play affect prizes
Powerball Double Play (where offered) and Power Play are optional add-ons that change payouts for non-jackpot prizes. Double Play is a separate draw; Power Play multiplies lower-tier prizes for an extra $1 per play.
