The Powerball jackpot has surged to $121 million after no one matched all six numbers in the Saturday, Sept. 7 drawing. The winning numbers for that night were 14, 34, 37, 55, and 63, with a red Powerball of 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x.
While the jackpot remained untouched, many players walked away with smaller prizes across the country, including in Georgia.

Odds of Winning the Powerball
Hitting the Powerball jackpot remains an incredible long shot. The odds of matching all six numbers to win the grand prize stand at one in 292.2 million. Despite this, players continue to buy tickets, with many hoping to be the lucky exception.
Why Jackpots Are Getting Larger
Lottery jackpots like Powerball have become significantly larger over the past few years. One reason for this trend is changes in the rules and ticket prices designed to encourage larger jackpots. Powerball made a major adjustment in 2021 by adding a Monday drawing to its previous Wednesday and Saturday schedule. According to officials, this move aimed to increase jackpot size more quickly, providing more opportunities for players and potentially larger prizes.
The next Powerball drawing will take place on Wednesday, with the jackpot prize set at $121 million. Players across the state and the nation will be watching closely, hoping to see their numbers drawn.
