Key Points:
- No ticket matched all six numbers in the Saturday, Aug. 15 Powerball drawing, so the jackpot will roll over to the next drawing on Monday, Aug. 17, with an estimated $35 million prize.
- The winning numbers for the Aug. 15 drawing were 5-8-27-29-63 with the Powerball number 13, and there were no Match 5 winners either.
- Last week's $1.04 billion jackpot won in Illinois ranks as the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot ever awarded in the U.S., following record jackpots such as the $2.04 billion prize in 2022.
- Powerball has expanded to the United Kingdom, introducing a new version of the game with higher ticket prices and different prize structures, potentially increasing the game's global player base.
- Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, with live streams available on the official Powerball website and YouTube channel.
