Did anyone win $160 million jackpot on Monday night? Check winning Powerball numbers for September 29 drawing

The winning numbers for the September 29 Powerball drawing have been announced, with players nationwide eagerly checking tickets for a chance at the $160 million jackpot. Officials have not yet confirmed a jackpot winner, and it will roll over and grow even larger for the next drawing on October 1 if there is no winner. Secondary prizes, ranging from thousands to millions of dollars, were also awarded.

The jackpot reached an estimated $160 million after Saturday’s drawing failed to produce a winner. The top prize can be claimed as a 30-year annuity with annual payments increasing by 5%, or as a lump-sum payout of $74.2 million, both before taxes, according to powerball.com.

Earlier this month, on September 6, two tickets in Missouri and Texas split a staggering $1.787 billion Powerball jackpot, the second-largest in U.S. lottery history. That win ended a streak of 41 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. Powerball’s odds of 1 in 292.2 million make hitting the jackpot rare, allowing prizes to grow significantly when unclaimed.
