The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $905 million for Monday's drawing, marking it as the eighth-largest in the game's history.
Raleigh Durham, NC, August 10, 2026 —
The Powerball jackpot continues its climb, reaching an estimated $905 million for the upcoming Monday drawing. This significant amount positions the current prize as the eighth-largest in the lottery game’s history.
The substantial sum has generated considerable excitement among players nationwide, as the chances of winning such a life-altering prize remain a powerful draw.
While the grand prize has not been claimed in recent drawings, the anticipation builds with each rollover. Lottery officials have confirmed the estimated $905 million figure ahead of Monday’s draw. Details regarding the cash value option, if available, were not immediately provided.
The Powerball lottery is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
Winning the jackpot requires matching all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
The estimated $905 million is based on annuity payments over 30 years. If a winner chooses a lump sum cash payment, the amount would be less.
The history of Powerball includes several jackpots that have surpassed the billion-dollar mark, with the largest ever Powerball jackpot reaching over $2.04 billion in November 2022.
