Powerball Jackpot Reaches $190 Million for September 7 Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $190 million for the September 7 drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in the previous draw. The grand prize requires matching five white balls and the red Powerball, with odds of about 1 in 292.2 million. Winners can choose an annuity paid over 30 years or a lump-sum cash option of approximately $81.9 million, both subject to taxes. In 2026, the largest jackpot was $1.04 billion, won in Illinois after 44 rollovers.
