URGENT UPDATE: A lucky player in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, is now $1,378,451 richer after purchasing a winning Powerball ticket! The ticket, which matched all numbers except the Powerball, was sold at the 76 Station located at 14478 Ventura Blvd. This life-changing ticket was part of the drawing held on September 4, 2023.
Despite no one winning the jackpot, which was not claimed, the excitement continues as the jackpot for the next drawing on September 6, 2023, has surged to an astounding $1.3 billion. This makes it the fifth largest Powerball jackpot ever and the ninth largest across all U.S. lottery games.
The winning numbers from Monday’s drawing are 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball number being 5. The last time a jackpot was won in California was on May 31, 2025, marking this as the 40th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner in the state. The record for the longest streak is 42 drawings, achieved in April 2024.
If a player wins the upcoming jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.3 billion or a lump sum payment of approximately $589 million—both amounts are before taxes. Winners can opt for annual payments over 30 years, increasing by 5% each year, or take the immediate cash option.
Drawings are held live from Tallahassee, Florida, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed on Powerball.com.
With the stakes higher than ever, anticipation is building for the next drawing. Will someone take home the life-altering jackpot? Stay tuned for the latest developments on this thrilling lottery saga!
