No Jackpot Winner Yet in $410M Powerball Drawing on August 2
So here’s the latest buzz in the world of lotteries—everyone’s been talking about the Powerball drawing that happened on Saturday night, August 2, 2025. And yes, the jackpot had climbed to a massive $410 million , with a cash option of $186.2 million . That kind of money could change someone’s life in an instant. But, here's the catch: no one matched all six numbers to snag the big prize.
The winning numbers drawn were 6, 18, 34, 35, 36 , and the Powerball was 2 , with a Power Play multiplier of 2X . If you’re holding a ticket, it’s definitely worth checking—because even if you didn’t hit the jackpot, there are still several other ways to win smaller prizes.

Now, if you matched just the Powerball, you’ve still won $4 , and that doubles to $8 if you opted for the Power Play. Matching one white ball and the Powerball? That’s also worth $4. But unfortunately, matching just two white balls without the Powerball gets you nothing. It’s all about pairing up with that red Powerball number.
And just so you know, Powerball drawings happen three times a week —on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday , right around 10:59 p.m. Eastern . So, if you didn’t win this time, the next drawing is coming up soon on Monday night, August 4.
The last time someone actually won the Powerball jackpot was back on May 31 , when a lucky player in California took home a $204.5 million prize. Since then, the jackpot has just kept growing, and people are definitely hoping they’ll be the next big winner.
Oh—and in case you’re wondering how to play—each ticket costs $2 , and for an extra $1 , you can add the Power Play to boost your non-jackpot winnings. There’s also something called Double Play for another dollar, which gives you a second shot at a $10 million prize in a separate drawing.
If you’re tempted to try your luck, tickets can be purchased at most gas stations, convenience stores, or even online in participating states. But don’t wait too late—each state has its own deadline for sales on drawing nights.
And just a heads up, the odds of winning the jackpot are about 1 in 292 million , so it’s definitely a long shot—but hey, someone eventually wins. Could be you. Just remember to play responsibly, and maybe, just maybe, your lucky numbers will come through next time.
