Powerball jackpots tend to grow quickly because of the game’s steep odds, which stand at 1 in 292.2 million.
The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $313 million for the Monday, September 21 drawing after no player matched all five white balls plus the red Powerball in the previous draw. The latest rollover gives lottery players another shot at taking home a potentially life-changing prize. The advertised $313 million jackpot is based on the annuity option, which is paid out over 30 years. A jackpot winner can also choose the one-time cash option, estimated at $133.6 million. Both amounts are before federal taxes and any state taxes that may apply.

POWERBALL JACKPOT ODDS REMAIN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT


Winning the Powerball jackpot requires a ticket to match all five white balls plus the red Powerball. With jackpot odds of roughly 1 in 292.2 million, landing the top prize is extraordinarily difficult. But matching every number isn’t the only way players can walk away with winnings. Powerball features nine prize tiers, with payouts available for several different combinations of matching white balls and the Powerball. This means a ticket can still win a prize even if it falls well short of hitting the jackpot.


ILLINOIS TICKET WINS MASSIVE $1.04 BILLION JACKPOT


The latest blockbuster Powerball win came on August 12, when a ticket purchased in Illinois matched all six numbers to secure an estimated $1.04 billion jackpot. The win snapped a run of 44 drawings without a jackpot winner and became the eighth-largest prize in Powerball history. The winner has the option of receiving the full jackpot through a 30-year annuity or taking an estimated $450.5 million cash payment before taxes.

Illinois is not the only state that has celebrated a Powerball jackpot winner this year. A ticket purchased in North Carolina landed an estimated $209.3 million prize in January. In March, a ticket sold in Arkansas won approximately $250.8 million, followed by a Delaware winner who claimed an estimated $231 million jackpot in April.

Powerball jackpots grow each time a drawing ends without a ticket matching all six winning numbers. That rollover system has produced some eye-popping prizes over the years. The all-time Powerball record remains the incredible $2.04 billion jackpot won in 2022. The game also produced two enormous jackpots in 2025, worth $1.817 billion and $1.787 billion.
