NY Lottery Results Tonight: Winning Numbers, Jackpots & How to Claim

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an eye-watering $700 million for Monday night’s drawing, and New Yorkers are lining up for a shot at the state’s biggest payday of the year. Here’s everything you need to know—from Saturday’s winning numbers to taxes, odds, and how to claim a prize—before the next NY Lottery deadline hits. Saturday’s winning Powerball numbers The numbers drawn on Saturday, Aug. 23 were 11 – 14 – 34 – 47 – 51 and Powerball 18, with a 2× Power Play. Nobody matched all six numbers, so the top prize rolled over to an estimated $700 million annuity ($316 million cash) for the Aug. 25 drawing. NY ticket-buying deadlines • Retail cut-off: 10 p.m. ET on drawing days (some locations close earlier) • NYLottery.com or Jackpocket: 9:45 p.m. ET Where to watch the drawing Powerball is televised on WABC-TV 7 in New York City and live-streamed at Powerball.com. Results post within minutes on NYLottery.ny.gov and the official NY Lottery app. What a $700 million jackpot pays in New York • Lump sum: approx. $316 million before taxes • Federal withholding: 24 % upfront; up to 37 % at filing • NY state tax: 10.9 % for top bracket • NYC residents: extra 3.876 % municipal tax A single city winner choosing cash could net roughly $190 million after all mandatory withholdings. Odds and recent drought The chance of hitting the jackpot remains 1 in 292 million, and no one has claimed Powerball’s top prize since May 31. That 12-week run is fueling the current surge in ticket sales. Mega Millions also heating up While Powerball grabs headlines, Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot sits at $253 million ($113.8 million cash). New Yorkers can play both games at any licensed retailer or online courier. How to claim a NY Lottery prize • Wins up to $600: cash at retailer • $601–$99,999: mail ticket or visit a regional Customer Service Center • $100k+: make an appointment at NY Lottery HQ in Schenectady or Fishkill Winners have one year from the draw date to claim.
