A Florida Powerball ticket-holder is waking up as a millionaire this morning, but not a billionaire, after Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing failed to produce a jackpot winner.
The September 3, 2025 drawing had an estimated jackpot of $1.40 billion, but no player matched all five numbers plus the Powerball. As a result, the jackpot has surged to a staggering $1.70 billion, with a cash option of $770.3 million for the upcoming Saturday, September 6, 2025 draw.
