URGENT UPDATE: A lucky player in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, is now $1,378,451 richer after purchasing a Powerball ticket at the 76 Station on September 4, 2023. Although there was no jackpot winner in last night’s drawing, this ticket matched all numbers except the Powerball, making it a significant win for the area.
The winning numbers from the Labor Day Powerball drawing are 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball number being 5. With no ticket hitting the jackpot, the prize for the next drawing on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, has skyrocketed to a staggering $1.3 billion. This amount ranks as the fifth largest in Powerball history and the ninth largest among all U.S. lottery jackpots.
The previous jackpot winner in California was on May 31, 2025, marking a lengthy stretch of 40 drawings since a win occurred in the state. The longest Powerball jackpot run was 42 consecutive drawings, set on April 6, 2024, when a player in Oregon won $1.326 billion.
Should someone win the upcoming $1.3 billion jackpot, they will have the option of an annuity estimated at $1.3 billion or a lump sum payment of approximately $589 million, both figures being before taxes. Winners can choose annual payments over 30 years, with a 5% increase each year, or 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.
This recent win adds excitement to the already high-stakes Powerball game, making it a topic of conversation among lottery players nationwide. With the jackpot climbing to new heights, players across the country are eagerly anticipating the next drawing.
