The US Powerball draw of 16 September 2026 produced no jackpot winner, taking the rollover run to 15 draws, with 531,770 winning tickets recorded in all.
The United States Powerball draw on 16 September 2026 ended without a jackpot winner, and that outcome is the reason this draw earns a note of its own: the rollover run on the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) game now sits at 15 draws.
Rollover is the whole event here: the top prize was not won, so it carries into the next draw instead of being paid out. The draw before this one, on 14 September 2026, carried the same top-prize outcome, so 16 September continued a run rather than starting one. A run like this is a sequence of independent outcomes, not a buildup of pressure — every draw has identical odds, and past results don't change the next one. The next US Powerball draw is dated 19 September 2026, and the US Powerball hub is where that draw's details land.
Two figures from the match 4 + Powerball tier are worth pulling out: seven tickets took the US$50,000 prize, and six Power Play tickets in the same tier took US$100,000 — the multiplier drawn here was 2x. Those are two separate groups of tickets: the six Power Play wins sit alongside the seven rather than inside them. Zoom out from that tier and the draw was busy anyway: 531,770 tickets in total won a prize on 16 September.
One thing the prize table above can't tell you: in the United States, Powerball winnings are taxable. Federal withholding applies, and most states tax lottery prizes too. That is general information rather than advice — the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a tax professional is where an individual bill gets settled. Still holding a ticket from this draw? The ticket checker will match your line against the main numbers and the Powerball.
