"Congratulations to Missouri's latest Powerball jackpot winner!" said Lester Elder, executive director of the Missouri Lottery, noting this is the 32nd time a Missouri ticket has won a Powerball jackpot prize.

"We encourage this winner to take their time and get proper legal and financial advice before coming to our Jefferson City headquarters to claim their prize," he added. "If you're holding this winning ticket, be sure to visit the If You Win a Jackpot section at MOLottery.com for next steps."

The selling location of Missouri's jackpot-winning ticket will be announced within 72 hours of the drawing, in accordance with Missouri Lottery procedure.

In addition to the jackpot winner, three other Missouri Lottery players each won $50,000 in last night's drawing. Their tickets matched four of the five white-ball numbers as well as the Powerball. The Sept. 6 winning numbers were 11, 23, 44, 61 and 62, with a Powerball number of 17.

Missouri Lottery Draw Games winners have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize. In this case, last night's winners have until March 5, 2026.
