COLUMBIA, SC (September 3, 2025) – Powerball® leaders have increased the jackpot for tonight to an estimated $1.4 BILLION. The estimated cash value has grown to $634.3 million.
Tonight’s jackpot ranks as the fourth largest in the Powerball game and the sixth largest among U.S. lottery jackpot games.

Powerball® is easy to play. Opt for a quick pick and the terminal will randomly select six numbers for you, or tell the clerk your lucky numbers.
