No winner in $1.1B Powerball jackpot on Labor Day

Updated September 1, 2025 - 9:45 pm

No one won the $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot Monday night. The jackpot is now estimated at $1.3 billion. The next drawing is Wednesday.

The numbers drawn Monday were 8, 23, 25, 40 and 53, with the Powerball 5.

One ticket sold in Sherman Oaks, Calif., won $1.3 million by matching five numbers, the California Lottery reported.

No one has matched all six numbers since May 31. Payments would be spread over 30 years, or a winner could choose an immediate lump sum.

The odds of matching all six numbers are astronomical: 1 in 292.2 million. The likelihood of getting struck by lightning is far greater. But with so many people putting down money for a chance at life-changing wealth, someone eventually wins.

Powerball, which costs $2 per ticket, is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held eac h week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights.

The Primm Valley Lotto store — officially listed in Nipton, California — is the closest outlet for Southern Nevada ticket buyers as lotteries in Nevada are prohibited by the state constitution.
