No Jackpot Winner Yet as Powerball Soars to $410 Million
Alright, so here’s the latest buzz in the lottery world—and if you’ve got a ticket, you might want to double-check those numbers. The Powerball jackpot for the drawing held on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, was sitting at a whopping $384 million. That’s the kind of money that makes your jaw drop, right? Now, if someone had matched all six numbers that night—five white balls and that all-important red Powerball—they would’ve had the option to walk away with a one-time cash payout of around $173 million. But guess what? No one snagged the jackpot. That means the prize is rolling over, and the next drawing on Saturday, August 2, will be even bigger—an estimated $410 million, with a cash option of about $184.9 million.
The winning numbers for July 30 were: 4, 15, 35, 50, 64 and the Powerball was 8. The Power Play multiplier was 4X. While no one hit the big one, someone in Massachusetts got pretty close—they matched all five white balls and had added the Power Play, which bumped their winnings up to $2 million. That lucky ticket was sold at a Cumberland Farms gas station in Fall River. Not bad for a quick stop at the pump.

And in case you're wondering, this isn’t the first big prize handed out this year. In fact, 2025 has already seen four jackpot winners so far. The most recent one was back in May when a ticket in California took home over $204 million. Earlier this year, in January, a player in Oregon won $328.5 million. Then, in March, a massive $527 million jackpot was claimed in California, followed by a $167 million win in Kentucky in April. So yes, lightning does strike more than once—but you’ve gotta play to have a chance.
If you’re new to Powerball or just need a refresher, here’s how it works: tickets cost $2, and you choose five numbers from 1 to 69, plus one Powerball number between 1 and 26. Add an extra buck for the Power Play, and your non-jackpot winnings could be multiplied by up to 10X. And if picking numbers feels like too much pressure, there’s always the Quick Pick option, where the computer picks for you.
Drawings happen three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at 10:59 p.m. ET. And if nobody wins the jackpot, that prize just keeps climbing. So, if you're feeling lucky, maybe it's time to grab a ticket. Just remember: even matching the Powerball alone wins you $4. But match them all? You might just be the next headline.
