The Delaware Lottery has officially published the winning numbers for its full lineup of drawings conducted on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026. Ticket holders across the First State are encouraged to review their slips carefully to see if they hold a winning combination from the midweek drawings, which featured both multi-state jackpot opportunities and popular state-level games.
Leading the Wednesday evening slate was the multi-jurisdictional Powerball drawing. The winning white ball numbers selected were 09, 40, 42, 55, and 65, accompanied by the red Powerball number 23. Players who added the optional multiplier to their wagers saw a Power Play multiplier of 2 selected for the night. This game continues to draw significant interest from local players hoping to hit a massive windfall.
Multi-state lottery enthusiasts also participated in the Lotto America drawing held on the same evening. The winning line drawn for Lotto America consisted of the numbers 03, 04, 44, 47, and 49, with the Star Ball designated as 04 and an All-Star Bonus (ASB) multiplier of 02. This offering serves as another multi-state option for participants seeking substantial payouts beyond the flagship Powerball draw.
In state-specific jackpot play, the Delaware Lottery conducted its Multi-Win Lotto drawing on Wednesday night. The winning six-number sequence drawn for the game was 22, 24, 27, 29, 32, and 34. Multi-Win Lotto remains a staple for in-state participants, offering multiple chances to match winning sequences on a single ticket slip.
Daily draw game results were also finalized for both the midday and evening sessions. For Play 3, the Day drawing generated the winning combination of 8-5-5, while the Night drawing concluded with the numbers 8-4-4. These daily iterations provide frequent opportunities for participants engaging in three-digit wagering.
The four-digit Play 4 drawings followed a similar schedule on Wednesday. Lottery officials confirmed the winning digits for the Play 4 Day session as 8-7-8-2. Later in the evening, the Play 4 Night drawing produced the winning numeric sequence of 4-6-1-5, giving players two separate opportunities to match four digits.
Rounding out the daily numbers offerings, the Play 5 game generated separate outcomes for its daytime and nighttime draws. The winning sequence for the Play 5 Day drawing was recorded as 8-7-3-6-9, whereas the Play 5 Night drawing resulted in the winning line of 5-5-3-9-6.
Lottery administrators emphasize that claiming any winning prize begins with basic ticket security. Individuals holding winning tickets must sign the back of the ticket using an ink pen immediately, which legally establishes their ownership of the slip and prevents unauthorized claims should the paper ticket be misplaced or stolen.
For smaller payouts, players have several convenient redemption paths. Prizes valued up to $599 can be claimed directly at any authorized Delaware Lottery retailer location, in person at the Delaware Lottery Office, or by mail. When claiming by mail, winners should print their full name and address clearly on the back of the ticket, retain a photo or duplicate copy for personal records, and send the original ticket along with a completed claim form to Delaware Lottery, 1575 McKee Road, Suite 102, Dover, DE 19904.
Participants who win intermediate prize amounts ranging up to $2,500 can redeem their winnings in person at designated Delaware Lottery Retailer Claim Centers. These authorized claim centers operate across all three of the state's jurisdictions: Kent County, Sussex County, and New Castle County.
For high-tier rewards totaling $5,001 or more, winners must present their claim in person at the central Delaware Lottery Office in Dover. Payout transactions at this main headquarters are conducted on regular business days between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and claimants are required to present both an official government-issued photo identification card and their Social Security card to complete the verification process.
A notable advantage for Delaware lottery winners is the state's policy regarding personal privacy. Unlike many jurisdictions that restrict anonymity or demand public disclosure once payouts exceed a specified monetary threshold, Delaware permits all lottery winners to maintain complete anonymity regardless of how large or small the prize payout may be.
Players are also reminded to be mindful of statutory redemption windows to ensure they do not forfeit their winnings. Under Delaware regulations, drawing game prizes remain valid for redemption for up to one year following the official drawing date. For instant scratch games, winning tickets must be claimed within one full year from the officially announced end-of-sales date.
