Powerball Drawing Produces 26-28-41-53-64; Estimated Jackpot $20 Million

The winning numbers in Monday evening’s Powerball drawing were 26-28-41-53-64 with a Powerball of 9 and a Power Play of 3, officials reported. The estimated jackpot for the drawing was $20 million.

The numbers were released after the televised drawing on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025. Lottery officials advise players to check tickets at authorized retailers or on official state lottery websites to verify prizes and to follow local rules and deadlines for claiming winnings.

Power Play is an optional add-on that multiplies non-jackpot prizes when a player pays the additional fee; Monday’s Power Play was 3, which typically triples the lower-tier prize amounts except in certain circumstances where multipliers are limited by game rules. Powerball drawings are held three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and numbers are drawn from two separate pools of white and red balls.

The Powerball game is run by a consortium of state lotteries and is a significant retail driver for convenience stores and lottery retailers. Jackpot levels and the prospect of large prizes often spur increased ticket sales, which generate revenue flows to retailers and to state programs designated by lottery statutes. Officials said that even modest estimated jackpots can prompt a rise in ticket purchases as players seek the annuity or cash-option prizes offered by the game.

Players who match all five white balls plus the red Powerball win the jackpot; other prize tiers are awarded for matching fewer numbers. Odds of winning the jackpot are long, and lottery officials routinely remind consumers to play responsibly. Prize claim procedures, including identification and tax withholding requirements, vary by state, and winners are encouraged to consult the official lottery authority in the state where the ticket was purchased.

For further details on the drawing results, prize structures and claim information, players should consult their state lottery’s official website or visit authorized retailers. The numbers released on Monday will be entered into national and state lottery databases and are being used to determine winners for this drawing.

The Powerball game remains one of the most prominent multi-state lottery offerings in the United States, combining large advertised jackpots with smaller-tier prizes and optional multipliers like Power Play. Monday’s results will be followed by the next scheduled drawing, where jackpot amounts will be updated based on ticket sales and whether the top prize is won.
