Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- The 1.8 billion Powerball jackpot drawn on September 7, 2025 was won by two tickets sold in Texas and Missouri. One winning ticket was sold in Fredericksburg, Texas, with the other location in Missouri not publicly disclosed at that time. [source: reports from NBC News and USA Today coverage of the September 2025 drawing][1][3]
- There were additional notable Powerball wins in 2025, including other large prizes in Texas and neighboring states, but the explicit, confirmed residence of the Missouri winner was not immediately published by the Missouri Lottery in the initial release. [source: NBC News and USA Today coverage][3][1]
If you want, I can pull the most current official statements or update you with the exact claim dates and whether the winners have publicly identified their home towns.
