Powerball winning numbers for September 2 revealed - Check who won the $146 million jackpot on Wednesday night?

The Powerball jackpot reached an estimated $146 million ahead of the Wednesday, September 2, drawing after no ticket matched all five white balls and the red Powerball in the previous drawing. The rollover gives players another opportunity to chase a multimillion-dollar prize, with the jackpot potentially growing again if no ticket hits all six numbers. Players do not need to match every number to win a Powerball prize. The game features multiple prize tiers, giving players opportunities to win by matching different combinations of white balls and the red Powerball.

The advertised $146 million jackpot represents the estimated annuity value, which would be paid through 30 annual installments. Winners can instead choose the estimated $63.3 million cash option as a one-time lump sum. Both amounts are listed before federal and applicable state taxes. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain about 1 in 292.2 million. Even with those daunting odds, Powerball has already produced several massive prizes in 2026.

On August 12, a ticket sold in Illinois matched all six numbers to claim an estimated $1.04 billion jackpot. The win ended a 44-drawing jackpot drought and became the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot in history. The Illinois winner can choose between the $1.04 billion annuity, paid over 30 years, or an estimated $450.5 million cash option, before taxes.


Other major jackpots have been won this year. A North Carolina ticket claimed an estimated $209.3 million in January, while an Arkansas ticket won approximately $250.8 million in March. In April, a Delaware ticket secured an estimated $231 million jackpot.

Powerball jackpots can climb rapidly when consecutive drawings end without a jackpot winner. The game's record jackpot remains the staggering $2.04 billion prize won in 2022. That record was followed by two enormous jackpots in 2025 worth $1.817 billion and $1.787 billion.

Powerball is available in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. As players await the next drawing, ticket holders will be checking their numbers in hopes of landing the life-changing jackpot. If nobody matches all six numbers, the prize will roll over once again and could become even larger for the following drawing.
