September 5, 2026 Powerball Results: $1M Winner in California, Jackpot Rolls On

The jackpot survived, but the draw still produced a major winner: a $1M Match 5 ticket in California.

Last updated:

The draw's strongest angle is the non-jackpot winner in California who hit Match 5. That prize does not end the jackpot run, but it still creates a real tax-planning problem.

The winning numbers were 15, 40, 47, 53, 59 and Powerball 9, with Power Play 2x. The white balls totaled 214, with an odd/even split of 4/1 and a low/high split of 1/4.

With no grand-prize winner, the jackpot is now set to roll to $173M for Monday, Sep 7, with a cash value around $75M.

While the jackpot remains elusive, it was still a life-changing night for a player in California who hit Match 5 for $1M.
