Missouri Lottery Announces Latest Powerball and Pick 3 Winning Numbers

St. Louis – The Missouri Lottery rolled out the numbers from its latest Powerball and Pick 3 draws on Tuesday night, and as usual, the mix of excitement and anticipation filled the air. For those who bought tickets, the winning Powerball numbers were 07, 14, 23, 31, 45, with the Powerball itself being 12. Those numbers cranked the jackpot up to a tempting $78 million, a sweet bump from the previous $65 million.

Meanwhile, the Pick 3 game handed out a more modest, but still noteworthy, set of digits: 4‑2‑7. Players who matched all three numbers in exact order walked away with a $500 prize, while those who only got the right numbers in any order took home $100.

“We always get a buzz when the Powerball numbers come out, especially when the jackpot inches higher,” said Susan McAllister, spokesperson for the Missouri Lottery. “It’s a reminder that every ticket has a story, and sometimes that story ends with a life‑changing win.”

For anyone wondering when the next draw will happen, the Powerball will be up again on Thursday at 10:59 p.m. Central Time, and the Pick 3 draws continue nightly at 11:40 p.m. The lottery office encourages players to check their tickets promptly, because prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.

If you missed this round, don’t worry—Missouri’s lottery offers a host of other games, from daily numbers to scratch‑off tickets, all designed to keep the fun rolling. And remember, playing responsibly is key; set a budget and stick to it.

All winners can verify their tickets on the official Missouri Lottery website, where the full list of prize tiers and claim instructions are posted. The next big jackpot could be yours, so keep an eye on the numbers and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the next lucky Missourian to hear the announcer shout, “You’re a winner!”
