Baton Rouge, Louisiana – The Louisiana Lottery reported substantial wins for players in the Powerball drawing held on August 29, 2025, alongside other lottery games. Despite no ticket winning the jackpot, which has now soared to an estimated $950 million for the next drawing on Saturday, a remarkable total of 14,000 winners emerged across the state.
The winning Powerball numbers drawn were 09, 12, 22, 41, 61, with the Powerball number being 25 and a Power Play multiplier of x4. Around 9,451 tickets sold in Louisiana resulted in winnings, though the highest prize came from tickets that earned just $400, awarded to 24 holders. Additionally, 36 tickets won $100 each.
In conjunction with the Powerball results, the drawing yielded six Match 5 Million prizes, with three of these prizes awarded to players using the Power Play feature, providing them with $2 million each in Mississippi, Ohio, and Virginia. The other three winners, who did not use Power Play, earned $1 million each in Virginia, Arizona, and New York.
The Powerball jackpot previously stood at $861.2 million, marking it the sixth-largest jackpot in the game’s history. This record-breaking amount drew interest from many new players who do not typically engage with the lottery, contributing to the high volume of winning tickets.
In addition to Powerball, the Lotto game was also featured, with an estimated jackpot of $1.875 million. Although no ticket clinched the jackpot, ten tickets were each awarded $1,000. Meanwhile, the Easy 5 game, boasting a jackpot of $80,000, also saw no jackpot winners.
Looking ahead, lottery players in Louisiana can anticipate upcoming drawings with exciting potential prizes. The Mega Millions drawing scheduled for Friday night is estimated at $277 million, while the Lotto drawing will increase to an estimated $1.975 million on Saturday. The Easy 5 jackpot is expected to rise to $100,000 by the same day.
For players looking to claim their winnings, Louisiana Lottery retailers can process prizes up to $600. For prizes exceeding this amount, winners must claim their winnings in person or by mailing their tickets to the Louisiana Lottery Headquarters located at 555 Laurel Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70801. The lottery office operates from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Louisiana Lottery continues to thrive as players eagerly participate in hope of significant payouts. With new records being set and a growing number of winners, the excitement surrounding the games continues to build.
