South Dakota Lottery players were on the edge of their seats on July 21, 2025, as the latest Powerball and Lucky For Life winning numbers were officially drawn. With millions of dollars up for grabs, many ticket holders rushed to check their numbers in hopes of a life-changing jackpot.
The South Dakota Lottery continues to draw wide interest with national games like Powerball and multi-state options such as Lucky For Life, especially when jackpots climb into the hundreds of millions. The July 21 drawings lived up to the excitement.
The Powerball drawing for Monday, July 21, produced the following winning numbers:
White balls: 13, 28, 32, 43, 56
Powerball: 10
Power Play: 2x
While no South Dakota resident hit the massive jackpot, multiple players across the U.S. matched partial numbers, earning significant secondary prizes. South Dakota officials confirmed that at least one ticket in the state matched four numbers plus the Powerball, bringing home $50,000 before taxes.
The Lucky For Life numbers drawn on the same evening were:
Main numbers: 6, 17, 19, 21, 42
Lucky Ball: 10
One lucky winner in the Midwest reportedly matched all five main numbers and the Lucky Ball, making them eligible for the grand prize: $1,000 a day for life. The South Dakota Lottery did not confirm if the winning ticket was sold within the state, but many hopefuls are encouraged to check their tickets.
Powerball and Lucky For Life are two of the most well-known lottery games in the United States. South Dakota players participate through their local SD Lottery retailers, contributing to record-breaking national prize pools.
Powerball offers large jackpots that begin at $20 million and can grow indefinitely with rollovers. Drawings are held three times a week Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
Lucky For Life, on the other hand, offers a unique twist: instead of a lump sum, the grand prize provides a thousand dollars per day for the winner’s entire lifetime. This life-long payout structure has helped the game gain popularity across 23 states, including South Dakota.
According to the South Dakota Lottery, the state has seen increasing lottery participation in 2025. Although there was no jackpot winner this week, several players earned mid-tier prizes:
The state reported that over 4,000 tickets sold in South Dakota won some prize amount during the July 21 drawing.
If you believe you’re a winner, the South Dakota Lottery recommends taking the following steps immediately:
Lottery winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes, so it’s important not to wait too long.
Although lottery games are based on pure chance, players often look for ways to boost their odds. Here are some popular strategies:
The South Dakota Lottery reminds players to play responsibly and avoid viewing the lottery as an income solution. With tools available on their website and mobile app, players can set spending limits, request temporary suspensions, and get access to gambling support services.
In 2025, the state has also launched an awareness campaign called “Play Smart SD”, aimed at educating residents on how to enjoy games like Powerball and Lucky For Life safely.
Because there was no jackpot winner in the July 21 Powerball drawing, the grand prize will roll over once again. As of July 22, 2025, the Powerball jackpot has grown to $176 million.
The next drawing will take place on Wednesday, July 23, giving players another chance to take home a massive fortune. Tickets can be purchased until 8 p.m. CT on the night of the draw.
The July 21, 2025 drawings for Powerball and Lucky For Life may not have created a South Dakota millionaire, but they certainly brought thousands of winners closer to their dream. From small prizes to life-changing payouts, the SD Lottery continues to offer opportunities for excitement and community involvement.
If you haven’t checked your ticket yet, now’s the time. And if you didn’t win this round, remember the next jackpot could be yours.
