When is the next Powerball drawing? It is set for Monday, Aug. 10, after no one matched Saturday's Powerball draw for the estimated $863.8 million jackpot. The next prize has climbed to an estimated $905 million, with a cash value of $391.9 million.
Stephen Durrell on top 10 jackpots
Stephen Durrell, Powerball Product Group chair and Kansas Lottery executive director, said in a statement: "Entering the top 10 largest Powerball jackpots is when we historically see a lot of players join in the game." That is the practical shift for ticket buyers now: a bigger pool of attention as the prize moves into the top seven Powerball jackpots ever offered.
The winning numbers from Saturday's Powerball draw were 5, 9, 35, 54 and 63, with the Powerball at 7. The jackpot was last won on May 2, and there have been 41 unsuccessful drawings since then, which is why the top prize kept growing into Monday's drawing.
Powerball, United Kingdom, and $1 billion
Powerball tickets began being sold in the United Kingdom on July 21, expanding the game beyond 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The next drawing will be the first won by someone competing with players in the United Kingdom, a larger field that can add to the pace of jackpot growth.
The scale is notable because Saturday's drawing was the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot of all time and the 16th-largest in U.S. history when Mega Millions jackpots are included. The largest Powerball jackpot ever won was a single $2.04 billion ticket sold in California in November 2022, and no jackpot has ever crossed the $1 billion mark for a lump-sum payment. Monday's drawing is the next chance to stop that climb.
