Lottery officials in Delaware have published the winning numbers for the drawings held on Wednesday, September 9, 2026. The mid-week drawings spanned a broad array of games offered by the Delaware Lottery, giving participants across the state opportunities to secure cash rewards across both multi-state jackpots and local daily draw formats.
Headlining Wednesday night’s drawing session was the multi-state Powerball game. The winning numbers drawn for the September 9 Powerball contest were 09, 40, 42, 55, and 65, with a red Powerball of 23 and a Power Play multiplier of 2. Powerball drawings are routinely broadcast three nights a week at 10:59 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
Participants checking their tickets for Lotto America also saw new winning digits revealed on Wednesday evening. The winning line for Lotto America was 03, 04, 44, 47, and 49, accompanied by the Star Ball 04 and an All Star Bonus (ASB) multiplier of 02. Like Powerball, Lotto America holds its drawings three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, taking place at 11:00 p.m.
The state’s own Multi-Win Lotto drawing also delivered a fresh set of six numbers on Wednesday evening. The winning combination for September 9 was recorded as 22, 24, 27, 29, 32, and 34. Multi-Win Lotto drawings occur three days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings precisely at 7:57 p.m.
Daily game participants who played the midday and evening editions of Play 3 also received their official results. The Play 3 Day drawing produced the three-digit sequence 8-5-5, while the Play 3 Night drawing generated the numbers 8-4-4.
In the four-digit daily category, the Delaware Lottery announced the corresponding winning entries for both the afternoon and nighttime sessions. For Play 4 Day, the winning sequence was 8-7-8-2, whereas the Play 4 Night drawing yielded the combination 4-6-1-5.
Completing the daily series, the five-digit Play 5 game also produced results for both drawing sessions on September 9. The Play 5 Day winning combination was drawn as 8-7-3-6-9, followed by the Play 5 Night sequence of 5-5-3-9-6.
Both Play 3 and Play 4 drawings follow a consistent twice-daily schedule throughout the week, holding draws at 1:58 p.m. in the afternoon and 7:57 p.m. in the evening, with the sole exception of Sunday afternoons. Delaware lottery players also follow other weekly games, including Mega Millions, which holds drawings on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m., and Lucky for Life, which selects numbers every day at 10:38 p.m.
Following the announcement of the winning numbers, lottery officials outlined the standard steps required for ticket holders to validate and claim their winnings. The primary requirement for any winner is to immediately sign the back of the physical ticket using an ink pen, which legally establishes their ownership of the winning ticket prior to claiming.
Prize redemption procedures in Delaware are structured according to the total value of the winning ticket. For prizes valued at up to $599, players may redeem their payouts directly at any licensed Delaware Lottery retailer or in person at the central Delaware Lottery Office. Winners can also claim amounts up to $599 via mail by submitting the original signed ticket alongside an official claim form. When mailing, individuals must clearly print their full name and address on the back of the ticket, retain a photo or copy for personal records, and send the package to the Delaware Lottery at 1575 McKee Road, Suite 102, Dover, DE 19904.
For mid-tier prizes valued up to $2,500, winning players have the option of visiting designated Delaware Lottery Retailer Claim Centers located throughout Kent, Sussex, and New Castle Counties to process and collect their funds in person.
Claimants holding tickets for major prizes valued at $5,001 or higher are required to redeem their awards directly at the primary Delaware Lottery Office in Dover. To successfully process these large payouts, winners must present a government-issued photo ID along with their Social Security card during standard administrative business hours, which run from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on regular business days. Travel directions to the Dover facility are available online and through mapping services such as mapquest.com.
Players are also reminded of strict claim timelines established under Delaware Lottery regulations. Winners of draw-based games have up to one full year from the date of the official drawing to collect their prizes. For instant scratch-off games, the one-year redemption window begins from the officially announced end-of-sales date for that specific game.
A distinctive aspect of claiming lottery prizes in Delaware involves personal privacy protections. Under First State law, winners possess the right to maintain complete anonymity regardless of how large or small their prize may be. This policy sets Delaware apart from numerous other jurisdictions, which frequently require winners to disclose their identities publicly unless their prize surpasses specific high-value jackpot thresholds.
