Powerball Jackpot Soars to $121M, Waiting for Lucky Monday Winner

The Powerball jackpot climbed to an impressive $121 million for Monday night’s drawing after no ticket managed to hit the winning combination on Saturday. According to the lottery, a lucky winner from Monday’s drawing would pocket approximately $61 million after taxes.

Just last month, a fortunate player won a $44.3 million Powerball jackpot, marking the second time the jackpot had been claimed in August.

The much-anticipated numbers for Monday’s game were revealed shortly after 11 p.m. ET. The winning numbers for September 9, 2024, are: 1, 16, 21, 47, 60, with a Powerball number of 5 and a Power Play multiplier of 3X.

While the results are freshly drawn, the identification of jackpot winners will be disclosed as soon as the information is verified. For those eager to see the list of past Powerball winners, the lottery’s official website offers a comprehensive record.

For newcomers to the game or those needing a refresher, participating in Powerball begins with purchasing a $2 ticket at local convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, or online in select states. Players select six numbers in total—five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26.

For an additional dollar, participants can opt for a “Power Play,” which enhances non-jackpot prizes by multiples of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X. Alternatively, a “Quick Pick” option, where a computer randomly generates the numbers, can make the selection process easier.

Drawings are conducted thrice weekly—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no winner is declared, the jackpot continues to swell, adding millions to the prize pool.

To purchase tickets, one can visit gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and some airport terminals.
