Tue Sep 02 10:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Powerball Jackpot Soars to $1.1 Billion After No Winner Saturday
**[City, State] –** Lottery fever is sweeping the nation as the Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $1.1 billion for the Monday, September 1st drawing. The massive prize follows Saturday night’s drawing where no ticket matched all six numbers needed to claim the grand prize.
The winning numbers for Saturday, August 30th were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the Powerball being 17 and the Power Play at 3X. While no one snagged the big prize, the drawing produced several winners. Three lucky tickets in Colorado, Indiana and New Hampshire matched five numbers and the Power Play, each worth $2 million. An additional nine tickets, sold in California (4), Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, matched five numbers for a $1 million prize.
The estimated $1.1 billion jackpot carries a cash value of $498.4 million. This latest surge follows a dry spell, as the last Powerball jackpot win occurred on June 1st, when a California ticket claimed a $204.5 million prize.
With odds of winning the jackpot at a staggering 1 in 292.2 million, hopeful players across 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are lining up to purchase their tickets.
Powerball tickets cost $2 each, with an optional $1 add-on for the “Power Play” feature, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings. Drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Tickets can be purchased at gas stations, convenience stores, and supermarkets, with sales cut-off times varying by jurisdiction. In Ohio, tickets can also be purchased online through the Ohio Lottery website.
Good luck to all players!
