Missouri and Texas Players Share $1.787 Billion Powerball Jackpot

September 7, 2025

Two lucky Powerball® tickets—one sold in Missouri and the other in Texas—matched all six numbers in the Saturday, September 6 drawing, splitting a massive $1.787 billion jackpot.

The winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and the red Powerball 17. The Power Play® multiplier was 2.

This $1.787 billion prize marks the second-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history, behind only the record-setting $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in California on November 7, 2022.

“Congratulations to our newest Powerball jackpot winners and the Missouri Lottery and Texas Lottery for selling the winning tickets,” said Matt Strawn, Powerball Product Group Chair and Iowa Lottery CEO. “Every $2 ticket not only gave players a shot at the prize but also supported essential public programs in their communities. That’s something to celebrate!”

Prize Options for the Winners

Each winning ticket holder can choose between:

  • Annuity: $893.5 million, paid over 30 years with annual payments increasing by 5%, or

  • Lump Sum: $410.3 million, paid immediately.

Both options are before taxes.

Other Winning Tickets

  • 18 tickets matched all five white balls to win $1 million each. These tickets were sold in California (2), Colorado, Florida, Illinois (2), Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York (2), Ohio (2), Oregon, Texas (2), and West Virginia.

  • 2 tickets (Kansas, Texas) included the Power Play® option, doubling their winnings to $2 million each.

  • 232 tickets won $50,000 prizes, while 90 tickets claimed $100,000 prizes with the Power Play® multiplier.

In addition, the Double Play® drawing produced two winners in Florida and Maine, each claiming $500,000 after matching all five black balls.

Record-Breaking Jackpot Run

This was the 42nd drawing since the jackpot was last won on May 31, 2025, in California—making it the longest run in Powerball history.

The jackpot now resets to $20 million for Monday night’s drawing, with the 10X Power Play® multiplier available since the advertised jackpot is below $150 million.

  • Tickets cost $2 per play and are available in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

  PRESS STATEMENT By Chief Bond Peter Chibueze Njoku, Agbara Ahuru Gwu Okuku I of Ngwa Land A CALL FOR JUSTICE AND THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU For nearly a decade, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s voice has echoed across Nigeria and beyond, demanding justice, fairness, and development for a people who have long been forgotten by their own government. Through the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), he gave a platform to millions of Nigerians—especially from the South East—whose cries for equity and inclusion have been met with silence, brutality, and suppression.

  Kemi Badenoch: Weaponizing Identity to Demarket Nigeria and Muzzle the Immigrant Story By   Bond Peter ------ USA When Kemi Badenoch rose through the ranks of the Conservative Party in the UK, many Nigerians watched with pride. A daughter of the soil—Yoruba by ancestry, British by birth, and Nigerian by upbringing—she had the chance to be a voice for immigrants, for Africa, and for the millions who view diaspora success stories as a beacon of hope. Instead, what we have witnessed is a pattern of cold detachment, a disturbing disavowal of her Nigerian heritage, and a political identity crafted not only to appease right-wing British voters but also to de-market Nigeria and the very immigrant roots that shaped her. In a recent interview, Badenoch boldly declared she no longer identifies as Nigerian and hasn't renewed her Nigerian passport since the early 2000s. While personal identity is every individual's right, the political implications of her rhetoric in the British Parli...
