Lottery officials in Rhode Island have officially confirmed the winning combinations for drawings held on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026. Players across the Ocean State participated in a variety of scheduled drawings, ranging from daily localized numbers games to major multi-state and regional jackpot offerings designed to award significant monetary payouts.
For players holding tickets for the state's signature daily draw, "The Numbers," two distinct sessions produced winning combinations on Sunday. The midday drawing yielded the four-digit sequence of 9-5-2-9, while the evening drawing produced the combination of 1-3-6-8. Participants holding winning tickets from either session are encouraged to review their play slips to determine if they qualify for cash prizes based on their selected bet types and play amounts.
The Sept. 13 drawing for the popular state-specific game "Wild Money" also generated a full winning selection. The main numbers chosen in the Sunday draw were 04, 10, 25, 29, and 30, along with the designated Extra number, which was 02. Players who matched the drawn combinations can check their entries against official state payout schedules to calculate their earnings.
Additionally, the "Millionaire for Life" drawing delivered a new set of winning numbers for Sunday evening. The five primary white balls drawn were 05, 08, 27, 40, and 46, accompanied by the Bonus number 01. This recurring game offers substantial life-changing opportunities for participants matching either the top prize or secondary tier structures.
Following the announcement of the winning combinations, Rhode Island Lottery officials have reiterated the standard procedures required for winners to validate and claim their financial rewards. The claim mechanism is determined primarily by the monetary value of the prize earned on any valid ticket.
For payouts below $600, winners are not required to travel to central lottery offices. Instead, any authorized Rhode Island Lottery retail location across the state is permitted to validate the winning ticket and disburse the appropriate funds directly to the player upon presentation of the physical ticket.
Conversely, any prize totaling $600 or higher must be processed through formal administrative channels. Claimants with prizes meeting or exceeding this threshold are required to present their winning tickets in person at the Rhode Island Lottery Headquarters, situated at 1425 Pontiac Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island (02920).
For participants taking part in the massive multi-state jackpot games, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, specific financial decision protocols apply to top-tier winners. Those fortunate enough to secure a jackpot in either game are granted a 60-day window following the date they become entitled to the prize to choose between a single cash lump-sum distribution or an annuity payment plan.
If a winner opts for the annuitized option in Powerball or Mega Millions, the total prize is disbursed over several decades. Specifically, the annuity is structured to be distributed in 30 graduated annual installments, providing extended financial longevity compared to the immediate, single-sum cash payout.
Unique settlement options are also available for top winners of the "Millionaire for Life" game. Claimants who successfully match the required numbers to capture the top prize of $1,000,000 a year for life, or the secondary prize tier of $100,000 a year for life, are offered flexibility in how they receive their winnings.
Winners in these top two "Millionaire for Life" prize tiers may elect to receive recurring payments guaranteed for a minimum duration of 20 years, or they may choose to take an equivalent lump-sum cash settlement. This dual-option format allows winners to tailor their financial windfall according to their personal investment and tax considerations.
To assist players with tracking upcoming games, the Rhode Island Lottery operates on a strict weekly draw schedule. The daily routine includes two distinct sessions for "The Numbers," with the midday drawing taking place every afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, followed by the evening drawing conducted daily at 7:29 p.m. Eastern Time.
Other daily drawings include "Lucky for Life," which conducts its selection every night at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and the daily "Millionaire for Life" drawing, which takes place shortly before midnight at 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
The local rolling jackpot game, "Wild Money," follows a tri-weekly schedule. Its drawings are held three evenings per week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 7:29 p.m. Eastern Time, offering regular opportunities for state players to compete for escalating prize pools.
Finally, the nation’s largest multi-jurisdictional jackpot draws continue to anchor the state's weekly calendar. Powerball numbers are drawn three times a week at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while Mega Millions drawings are scheduled twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time. All ticket holders are advised to inspect their slips promptly and consult official Rhode Island Lottery resources for detailed payout tables and verification procedures.
