Lottery enthusiasts across the Commonwealth of Virginia checked their tickets following the Wednesday, September 9, 2026 drawings, which encompassed a broad spectrum of state-run and multi-jurisdictional games. The Virginia Lottery oversees a diverse portfolio of daily and weekly draw options designed for players seeking various prize levels, ranging from nationwide jackpot pursuits to fast-paced, regional daily number games.
The most prominent contest on Wednesday evening was the multi-state Powerball drawing, a high-profile game played across dozens of participating lottery jurisdictions. During the official Sept. 9 drawing, the winning white ball sequence drawn was 09, 40, 42, 55, and 65. Ticket holders who matched all five white balls or specific subsets of the sequence stand eligible for the game's tiered cash prizes.
Alongside the five main white balls, the crucial red Powerball drawn for Wednesday was 23. Official lottery records also confirmed that the Power Play multiplier for the night was selected as 2. The Power Play add-on feature gives participating players who purchase the option the ability to double their non-jackpot base prizes, enhancing secondary payouts across multiple winning tiers.
Powerball operates on a regular three-night weekly schedule, with drawings conducted every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11:00 p.m. Following the completion of the Wednesday night session, attention immediately shifts toward the upcoming weekend drawing, which is officially scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
In addition to the multi-state Powerball event, the Virginia Lottery conducted its routine schedule of state-level daily draw games. These offerings include the widely played Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 games, each of which provides two daily winning opportunities consisting of a daytime drawing at 1:59 p.m. and a nighttime drawing held at 11:00 p.m. every day of the week.
For the Wednesday daytime Pick 3 drawing, the winning three-digit combination was officially announced as 5-6-1. The drawing also featured a Fireball number of 8. The Fireball modifier grants players with the add-on feature an alternative path to victory by allowing the drawn Fireball number to substitute for any of the three winning digits.
The daytime edition of the Pick 4 game, conducted simultaneously at 1:59 p.m., yielded the winning numerical sequence of 9-9-2-3. The accompanying Fireball for this four-digit drawing was recorded as 5. As with the other Pick games, the Fireball provides an added degree of flexibility for ticket holders seeking to complete qualifying matching sequences.
Rounding out the daily afternoon numbers suite, the daytime Pick 5 drawing generated the five-digit result of 8-0-4-4-8. The corresponding Fireball number drawn for the Pick 5 daytime session was 8, matching the numbers drawn in both the first and fifth positions of the primary five-digit winning string.
Beyond the traditional Pick games, the Virginia Lottery also published the results for Cash Pop, a distinctive game structured around multiple drawings dispersed across the entire day. Cash Pop features five separate drawing windows: the Coffee Break drawing at 9:00 a.m., the Lunch Break drawing at 12:00 p.m., the Rush Hour drawing at 5:00 p.m., the Prime Time drawing at 9:00 p.m., and the After Hours drawing at 11:59 p.m.
Results for four of the Wednesday Cash Pop drawings were formally released. The morning Coffee Break drawing produced the winning number 12, and the midday Lunch Break drawing repeated that exact outcome with another winning draw of 12. Later in the day, the Rush Hour drawing resulted in the number 07, followed by the Prime Time drawing at 9:00 p.m., which generated the winning number 01.
Ticket holders across Virginia are urged to examine their tickets closely to confirm whether their selected numbers correspond with the official winning outcomes. Payout distributions depend on multiple factors, including the specific game played, the wager amount placed on the ticket, the chosen play style, and whether additional features like Fireball or Power Play were selected at the time of purchase.
The published lottery outcomes were automatically compiled utilizing data feeds provided by TinBu, operating under an editorial reporting template developed and reviewed by an editor from the Center for Community Journalism (CCJ). The report was initially published and distributed by the Staunton News Leader to provide timely updates to readers across the state.
With drawings spanning from early morning to late at night, the Virginia Lottery maintains an active, continuous schedule for participants statewide. As players verify their tickets from Wednesday, September 9, 2026, interest turns to the forthcoming daily draws and the upcoming Saturday Powerball event.
