Powerball Jackpot Rolls to $313 Million After No Grand Prize Winner in Saturday Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $313 million for the next drawing on Monday, September 21, after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Saturday, September 19 drawing. While the grand prize eluded players nationwide, the Ohio Lottery confirmed thousands of smaller prizes were won across the Buckeye State — including two tickets worth $100,000 each.
Ohio Claims Two $100,000 Powerball Winners
Two lucky tickets sold in Ohio matched four white balls plus the Powerball with the 2x Power Play multiplier, turning a standard $50,000 prize into $100,000. The winning tickets were purchased at:
- Trees Drive Through Beer and Wine in Urbana (Champaign County)
- Meijer Gas Station in Reynoldsburg (Franklin County)
Both winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes at an Ohio Lottery regional office. The retailers that sold the winning tickets will each receive a $1,000 selling bonus from the Ohio Lottery Commission.
Saturday’s Winning Numbers and Next Drawing Details
The winning numbers for the September 19 drawing were:
| Number Type | Value |
|---|---|
| White Balls | 18, 30, 41, 45, 68 |
| Powerball | 10 |
| Power Play | 2x |
The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, September 21 at 10:59 p.m. ET. The advertised annuity jackpot stands at $313 million with a cash option of $133.6 million. Tickets can be purchased at any Ohio Lottery retailer until 10:00 p.m. ET on drawing night.
Ohio’s Recent Lottery Success Stories
Ohio has produced several notable lottery winners in recent months. In August 2026, a Cleveland-area retiree claimed a $2 million Mega Millions prize from a ticket purchased at a local Giant Eagle. Earlier in the summer, a construction worker from Toledo won $1 million playing a $30 scratch-off game. The Ohio Lottery reports that since its inception in 1974, it has contributed over $29 billion to the state’s Lottery Profits Education Fund, supporting K-12 education programs across Ohio.

How to Play and Claim Prizes in Ohio
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play (or $3 with Power Play). Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. The Power Play option multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x (10x available only when the jackpot is $150 million or less).
Prize claim deadlines:
- Prizes up to $599: Claim at any Ohio Lottery retailer
- Prizes $600 to $5,000: Claim at retailer or regional office
- Prizes over $5,000: Must be claimed at a regional office or by mail
- All prizes expire 180 days after the drawing date
Winners of prizes over $600 have federal taxes withheld at 24% (plus state tax of 4%). The Ohio Lottery recommends signing the back of your ticket immediately and consulting a financial advisor before claiming large prizes.
As the jackpot grows, so does public interest — but the odds of winning the grand prize remain 1 in 292.2 million. For many Ohioans, the entertainment value and the knowledge that every ticket supports education make Powerball a regular tradition, jackpot or not.
