No winners in latest Powerball drawing, jackpot swells to $905 million

There were no jackpot winners for Saturday’s Powerball draw for an estimated $863.8 million, the largest lottery total of the year so far. The winning numbers drawn were 5,9, 35, 54 and 63, and a Powerball of 7.

The next draw will take place on Monday, Aug. 10, with an estimated jackpot of $905 million, which corresponds to a cash value of $391.9 million, according to Powerball.

This was the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot of all time. It will have to crack the milestone $1 billion mark to enter the top seven. When including Mega Millions jackpots, Saturday’s drawing was the 16th-largest in U.S. history.

“Entering the top 10 largest Powerball jackpots is when we historically see a lot of players join in the game,” Stephen Durrell, Powerball Product Group chair and Kansas Lottery executive director, said in a statement.

The largest Powerball jackpot — and largest lottery jackpot period — ever won was a single $2.04 billion ticket sold in California in November 2022. However, no jackpot has ever crossed the $1 billion mark for a lump-sum payment. Even that record drawing won by Edwin Castro back in 2022 was worth “only” $997.6 million.

There’s also a new wrinkle to this jackpot. It will be the first won by someone not just competing with 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — it will also be the first jackpot won with people in the United Kingdom participating.

Powerball tickets began being sold in the U.K. on July 21, and, if no one wins, the jackpots should grow faster with the addition of more players.

The jackpot was last won on May 2. There have been 41 unsuccessful drawings since then. There have been plenty of smaller victories though, including a $1 million winner in Ohio for matching all five white balls in Wednesday’s drawing.
