Winning Numbers Today is an independent lottery results resource and is not affiliated with Powerball or any state lottery. Always confirm winning numbers with your official state lottery.
Wednesday night’s winning numbers
The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 were:
White balls: 4 – 6 – 23 – 33 – 44
Powerball: 13
Power Play: 4x
The drawing was held at 10:59 p.m. ET, with a jackpot of $409 million (cash value $170.2 million) on the line.
The separate Double Play drawing produced: 10 – 16 – 27 – 42 – 57, Powerball 14.
Did anyone win the jackpot?
No. No ticket matched all six numbers for the September 30 drawing — so nobody takes home the $409 million.
No state lottery has announced a Match 5 + Powerball winner, and per-tier winner counts for this draw have not yet been published in the feed sources.
The jackpot climbs to $440 million
With no jackpot winner, the Powerball jackpot grows to an estimated $440 million for the next drawing on Saturday, October 3, 2026, with a cash option of $183.1 million.
A $440 million prize puts Saturday night’s drawing firmly in blockbuster territory — expect long lines and quick picks to pile up through the weekend.
How Powerball works
New to the game? A ticket costs $2. You pick five white ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26 — or let the terminal choose with a Quick Pick.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. There are nine ways to win, with prizes starting at $4 and the jackpot going to anyone who matches all five white balls plus the Powerball. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9; the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.
For an extra $1, the Power Play option multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x — the multiplier for each drawing is drawn before the main numbers. (Wednesday’s multiplier was 4x, as shown above.)
What to do if you won
First: sign the back of your ticket and keep it somewhere safe. Jackpot winners typically choose between a 30-year annuity and a one-time lump-sum cash payment — a decision worth making with a financial adviser before you claim.
Claim periods and rules vary by state, so check your state lottery’s deadlines. Prizes of $599 or less can usually be claimed at any authorised retailer; bigger prizes go through a lottery district office or headquarters.
If you played through your state lottery’s official app or website, smaller winnings are usually credited automatically.
Looking ahead to Saturday
Saturday night’s estimated $440 million jackpot (cash value $183.1 million) is the drawing to watch. Tickets must be bought before your state’s sales cut-off — many states stop Powerball sales around 10:00 p.m. ET, so don’t leave it to the last minute.
Check your tickets after the drawing — and as always, confirm your numbers against the official results on powerball.com or your state lottery’s website.
