Did anyone win the Powerball last night? Short answer: no — there was no jackpot winner in Monday’s (Sept. 1, 2025) Powerball drawing, and the top prize continues to roll.
What happened in the drawing (quick facts)
The winning numbers for Monday’s drawing were 8-23-25-40-53 and the red Powerball was 5. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the grand prize rolled over and the estimated jackpot for the next drawing climbed to about $1.3 billion (cash option roughly $589 million).
Powerball winner last night — who won the big prizes?
While there was no Powerball jackpot winner last night, several big secondary prizes were claimed. Two tickets — one sold in Montana and one in North Carolina — matched five numbers with the Power Play and each won $2 million. In addition, a number of $1 million winners were recorded across multiple states.
One locally notable win: a $1 million ticket was sold at the Market Basket store in Revere, Massachusetts. That ticket did not capture the jackpot but is still a life-changing prize for its holder.
Why the jackpot keeps growing
Powerball drawings occur three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday). When nobody matches all six numbers, the annuitized jackpot increases based on ticket sales. Larger jackpots tend to spur more ticket purchases, which can push the top prize even higher — that's what pushed this prize into the billion-dollar range after Monday’s roll. The official Powerball site confirms multiple $1M+ winners but no jackpot winner for the Labor Day drawing.
What that means for players
-
If you held a ticket for Monday night, check your numbers: match details and secondary-winner locations are published on the official Powerball site and state lottery pages.
-
The jackpot now being an estimated $1.3 billion means the next drawing (Wednesday) will attract heavy attention and likely heavy ticket sales.
-
Odds remain extremely long (about 1 in 292 million for the jackpot), so treat ticket purchases as entertainment, not investment.
How to check if you won
-
Compare your ticket to the official numbers published on Powerball’s website or your state lottery page.
- For larger prizes, follow your state lottery’s claim instructions (timelines and ID requirements vary).

If you asked “Powerball winner last night?” the clear, verified answer is: No jackpot winner — the top prize rolled to an estimated $1.3B. Several secondary prizes—including $2 million winners in Montana and North Carolina and multiple $1 million tickets—were paid out.
