The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1 billion for the Saturday, August 30, 2025, drawing, marking the sixth time in the game's history that the prize has reached or surpassed this milestone. This substantial increase follows a series of rollovers, with no ticket matching all six numbers since May 31, 2025.

The winning numbers for the August 30 drawing were 3, 18, 22, 27, and 33, with the red Powerball number being 17. Despite the substantial jackpot, no ticket matched all six numbers, resulting in the prize rolling over once again.

The current jackpot is the largest since a $1.3 billion prize was claimed in Oregon in April 2024. The cash value of the $1 billion prize is estimated at $453.1 million before taxes. Winners have the option to choose between the annuity option, paid over 30 years, or the lump-sum cash prize.

Powerball tickets are available in 45 U.S. states, along with Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and cost $2 per play. Players can add the Power Play option for an additional $1, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times. Drawings take place at 10:59 p.m. ET from Tallahassee, Florida.

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, September 1, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. ET. As the jackpot continues to grow, excitement among players nationwide is expected to increase, with many hoping to secure a life-changing win.
