Jackpot rises to $223 million

The Powerball jackpot rose to $223 million in Wednesday's drawing after no one won the top prize on Monday.

A month ago, a lucky player from California won a $44.3 million Powerball jackpot in August, the lottery said. The week before that, a player from Pennsylvania won the $213.8 million jackpot.

Anyone who wins the $223 million jackpot on Wednesday can take home about $112.2 million after taxes, according to the lottery.

The winning numbers were drawn around 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and the results are below. Normally, the Powerball is drawn at the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee, but lottery officials announced that Wednesday's drawing will be held at a backup location in Johnston, Iowa, due to Hurricane Helene.

Here's everything you need to know about the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, September 25:

How to play Powerball

To purchase a $2 Powerball ticket, you'll need to visit your local convenience store, gas station or grocery store—in some states, you can also purchase tickets online.

To play, you must select a total of six numbers to mark on your ticket. Five numbers are white balls and range from 1 to 69. The Powerball is red and one number is between 1 and 26.

If you want to increase your chances of winning, you can add a “Power Play” for $1, which increases winnings for all non-jackpot prizes. This addition can increase winnings by 2X, 3-fold, 4X, 5Xor 10X.

Players can also ask a cashier for a “quick pick,” in which the cashier gives you computer-generated numbers on a printed Powerball ticket.

The draws take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings. If there is no jackpot winner, the cash prize increases by millions.
