The Powerball jackpot took a big leap on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, after no player hit the jackpot in the latest drawing. The winning numbers for that night were 4, 11, 40, 44, 50, with the red Powerball number being 4. The Power Play multiplier was set at 3x.

Though no one landed all six numbers to claim the jackpot, several lucky players still scored big with $1 million prizes in New Hampshire, Oregon, and Texas by matching five numbers without the Powerball. Since no grand prize winner emerged, the jackpot continues its climb, now estimated at around $531 million with a cash option near $243.2 million.

For those dreaming of a life-changing win, the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, 2025. Players can either take a lump sum payment or opt for 30 payments stretched over 29 years if they match all six numbers.

Here’s a quick reminder to those new to the game: Powerball tickets cost $2, and players select five white balls numbered 1 through 69, plus a red Powerball from 1 to 26. Adding $1 for the Power Play option can multiply the smaller prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x.

With odds stacked at 1 in 292.2 million for the grand prize, the draw remains one of the most exciting chances to win huge in the U.S. lottery scene.
