Powerball Jackpot Soars to $451 Million After No Winner in August 6 Drawing
So, if you've been holding onto your Powerball ticket from August 6, 2025, hoping to wake up a millionaire, here’s the scoop—no jackpot winner emerged from Wednesday night’s drawing. That means the Powerball jackpot has now skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping $451 million . For those thinking about taking the lump sum cash option, that would amount to a cool $204.9 million before taxes. Not a bad payday if you happen to hit those magical numbers.
Now, for the numbers themselves: the winning combination drawn on Wednesday night was 15, 27, 43, 45, 53 , with a Powerball of 9 . The Power Play multiplier was 2x . And while nobody managed to match all six numbers for the grand prize, it wasn’t a total loss across the board. Four lucky ticket holders from California, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio did match the five white balls, each claiming a $1 million prize . So, even without a jackpot winner, there were still some major wins happening.

This marks yet another rollover, continuing a streak that’s only helped build anticipation—and the prize pool. It’s worth noting that four jackpot wins have already happened in 2025 , with prizes ranging from $167.3 million to over $526 million . The most recent jackpot was hit in California on May 31, where someone walked away with $204.5 million .
If you’re new to the Powerball craze, here's how it works: tickets cost $2 , and players pick five white ball numbers from 1 to 69 , plus one red Powerball number between 1 and 26 . Add an extra $1 to activate Power Play , which can multiply non-jackpot winnings up to 10 times , depending on the draw. For those who’d rather not choose their numbers manually, there’s always the Quick Pick option.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET . If nobody hits the jackpot, the prize keeps growing. You can buy tickets at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even online in select states through platforms like Jackpocket , the official digital courier of the USA TODAY Network.
The next drawing is set for Saturday, August 9 , so if you're feeling lucky, now’s the time to grab a ticket. With the jackpot continuing to grow, someone’s life could change in an instant. Just remember to play responsibly—and good luck!
