Multiple Powerball Winners Share $2 Billion Prizes Across US States

The recent Powerball drawing on Saturday, September 6, 2025, resulted in multiple significant wins across several states. Two jackpot-winning tickets worth a combined $1.787 billion were sold in Missouri and Texas, with one ticket purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas, marking one of the largest lottery prizes in Texas history. Numerous other players won substantial prizes by matching four white balls plus the Powerball, including five $50,000 and two $100,000 prizes in Connecticut, four winners in South Carolina with three winning $50,000 and one $100,000, and six major winners in Tennessee with five $50,000 and one $100,000 prize. New Jersey players also claimed five $100,000 prizes and a $1 million prize for matching five numbers but missing the Powerball. The massive jackpot win ended a 41-drawing streak without a jackpot winner, and the next Powerball jackpot is reset to $20 million, while Mega Millions is growing to $358 million. These winnings highlight both the excitement and wide distribution of prizes in the Powerball lottery, with proceeds supporting education programs in states like Tennessee.
