The winning Powerball numbers for the Sept 1. drawing were 8-23-25-40-53 with a red Powerball of 5. Players win the $50,000 prize if they can match four of the white balls and the red Powerball.

Each of the prizes are subject to both state and federal taxes, according to the Kansas Lottery. The state tax amounts to 5% while the federal tax is 24%, meaning each prize is actually worth $35,500.
