Lottery participants across the Commonwealth of Virginia checked their tickets following the completion of the state lottery drawings on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026. The Virginia Lottery oversees a wide range of daily and multi-jurisdictional draw games created to provide participants with numerous prize-winning opportunities throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening. The mid-week drawing schedule featured notable outcomes across major jackpot games as well as regional daily draw offerings.
Leading the evening slate was the multi-state Powerball drawing, one of the most popular national lottery products available to Virginia players. The Powerball game follows a strict, recurring schedule with drawings administered three nights each week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Players throughout the state anticipated the mid-week release to see if their selected combinations matched the multi-state numbers drawn.
For the Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026 Powerball drawing, the five white ball winning numbers selected were 09, 40, 42, 55, and 65. The red Powerball number drawn for the game was 23. Additionally, the Power Play multiplier was officially drawn at 2, offering players who purchased the optional add-on feature the ability to multiply their non-jackpot winnings according to standard game rules.
Following the conclusion of Wednesday's event, the Powerball game schedule shifted its focus to the next upcoming drawing. The subsequent drawing date is set for Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026. Participants are encouraged to verify their tickets against official payout tiers, as combinations matching various subsets of the drawn numbers are eligible for secondary cash prizes.
Alongside the multi-state jackpot game, the Virginia Lottery also conducted its afternoon drawings for the daily Pick series. The state’s Pick games operate on a dual-drawing routine every day of the week, offering a Day drawing conducted at 1:59 p.m. and a Night drawing held at 11 p.m. The daytime drawings on Sept. 9 produced fresh winning combinations for Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5.
In the Pick 3 Day drawing, the three-digit winning sequence selected at 1:59 p.m. was 5-6-1. For participants who opted into the Fireball feature, the additional Fireball number drawn was 8. The Fireball element provides an extra number that can substitute for any of the drawn digits, creating additional potential winning permutations for eligible tickets.
The Pick 4 Day drawing similarly delivered its four-digit combination during the afternoon drawing period on Sept. 9. The winning numerical outcome for the midday session was recorded as 9-9-2-3. Accompanying this four-digit sequence, the Fireball for the Pick 4 daytime drawing was drawn as 5, providing an extra opportunity for players utilizing the add-on feature to form winning sets.
Completing the daytime Pick series lineup was the Pick 5 game, which requires matching across five separate digits. The winning sequence drawn during the Sept. 9 afternoon drawing was 8-0-4-4-8. As with the other Pick games, an extra Fireball digit was selected for the midday drawing, with the number 8 drawn as the Fireball.
In addition to the traditional Pick games, the Virginia Lottery operates Cash Pop, a game structured around multiple independent drawings conducted throughout the day. Cash Pop features five scheduled drawing times: the Coffee Break drawing at 9 a.m., the Lunch Break drawing at 12 p.m., the Rush Hour drawing at 5 p.m., the Prime Time drawing at 9 p.m., and the After Hours drawing at 11:59 p.m.
The early Cash Pop drawings on Wednesday, Sept. 9, began with the 9 a.m. Coffee Break drawing, which yielded the winning number 12. In an unusual repetition of single-number results, the midday Lunch Break drawing at 12 p.m. also selected the number 12, marking matching winning outcomes across the first two Cash Pop drawing intervals of the day.
As the schedule progressed into the late afternoon and evening, new winning single numbers were drawn for the remaining scheduled periods. The 5 p.m. Rush Hour drawing resulted in the winning selection of 07. Later in the evening, the 9 p.m. Prime Time Cash Pop drawing produced the winning number 01, concluding the reported daytime and evening selections for the game.
Lottery officials remind participants to review all tickets carefully and cross-reference their numbers against official payout guidelines. The overall value of any prize depends directly on the specific game played, the wager amount placed, and whether auxiliary features such as Fireball or Power Play were included at the time of ticket purchase.
