Powerball jackpot rises to $905 million for August 10 drawing - Here's what Monday night's winner could take home

Saturday night's Powerball drawing ended without a jackpot winner, pushing the massive prize to an estimated $905 million for the next drawing on Monday, August 10. The growing jackpot gives lottery players another shot at one of the year's largest prizes. The winner would have a choice between two ways to receive the money. The advertised $905 million prize represents the annuity option, which would be distributed through yearly payments over 30 years. Alternatively, the winner could select the estimated $391.9 million lump-sum cash payout, with federal taxes and potentially state taxes deducted.

Winning the jackpot, however, remains extraordinarily difficult. The odds of matching all five white balls plus the Powerball are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Powerball tickets are sold across 45 states, as well as Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

The game has already created several multimillion-dollar winners in 2026. A North Carolina ticket hit a $209.3 million jackpot in January, while a winning ticket in Arkansas claimed $250.8 million in March. In April, a Delaware player landed a $231 million jackpot. Numerous other players have also collected $1 million or more after matching the five white balls but missing the Powerball.


With the jackpot continuing to grow, attention is likely to increase as Monday's drawing approaches. Large prizes often encourage more people to purchase tickets, as players dream of turning a small lottery investment into a life-changing fortune.

If Monday's drawing also produces no jackpot winner, the prize will roll over again, potentially sending the total even higher for the following drawing. For now, millions of hopeful players will be watching the numbers, knowing that only one winning combination stands between a ticket holder and a nine-figure fortune.
