Powerball Jackpot Climbs to Estimated $905 Million
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $905 million, as no winning ticket was sold for Saturday night's drawing.
Raleigh Durham, NC, August 9, 2026 —
The Powerball jackpot continues to grow, reaching an estimated $905 million after Saturday night’s drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner. This significant sum makes it one of the largest Powerball jackpots in history.
The winning numbers drawn on Saturday were not matched by any ticket sold across the participating states. The next drawing, where players will have another chance to win the massive prize, is scheduled for Monday.
While no one claimed the top prize, there were other winners at lower prize tiers. Details on the number of winners for these secondary prizes and the amounts awarded were not immediately available.
The Powerball lottery is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
The current estimated jackpot of $905 million is for a cash option of approximately $428.4 million. Both figures are before taxes. The final jackpot amount will be determined by actual ticket sales leading up to Monday’s drawing.
