Powerball Results September 12 2026: Winning Numbers
- White-ball numbers: 14, 16, 23, 58, 69
- Powerball: 3
- Power Play: 2x
- Advertised jackpot: $232 million
- Estimated cash option: $98.6 million
Players should carefully compare each number on their tickets with the official results. Matching the Powerball alone can produce a prize, while matching additional white-ball numbers may qualify for larger payouts. The Power Play feature can increase many non-jackpot prizes, although it does not multiply the grand prize.
Did Anyone Win the $232 Million Jackpot?
The report did not confirm a jackpot winner immediately after the Saturday drawing. If no ticket matched all five white-ball numbers and the Powerball, the prize would roll over again and grow for the next drawing.
Lottery officials typically review ticket sales and winning claims before announcing whether the jackpot was won. Results can also be updated as state lottery offices complete their verification processes. Ticket holders should keep their tickets safe and check with the lottery in the state where they made their purchase.
Why the Powerball Jackpot Climbed
The jackpot reset to $20 million after a player in Illinois won a massive $1.04 billion Powerball prize in the Aug. 12 drawing. The winning ticket was sold at a Hy-Vee store in Quincy, Illinois, according to the Illinois Lottery.
Since that historic drawing, the jackpot increased through multiple consecutive rollovers. It rose from $20 million on Aug. 15 to $232 million for Saturday, Sept. 12. The climb created renewed interest among players in Florida and across the country.
A Florida ticket from the Aug. 12 drawing also won a $1 million second-tier prize. The ticket was purchased at a RaceTrac location on Cleveland Avenue in Fort Myers. Florida Lottery records indicated that the winner, a Cape Coral resident, later claimed the cash option for the Quick Pick ticket.
When Is the Next Powerball Drawing?
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, at 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, including holidays. The drawings are filmed in a television studio in Tallahassee, Florida.
According to Powerball.com, the odds of matching all five white-ball numbers and the Powerball are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Prizes begin at $2, while the jackpot amount varies depending on ticket sales and the number of rollovers.
How to Check Your Powerball Ticket
Start by comparing the five white-ball numbers in any order. Then check whether the red Powerball matches the number drawn. Even tickets that do not win the jackpot may qualify for a smaller prize, so players should review every number combination carefully.
Winning tickets must be claimed according to the rules and deadlines established by the state where they were purchased. Because claim periods vary, winners should contact their state lottery promptly and sign the back of a paper ticket when appropriate.
