Powerball Results Aug 8: Winning Numbers + Jackpot Winner Status

Powerball Jackpot Grows to $905 Million After No Winner on Saturday

Updated August 9, 2026 — Nobody hit the big jackpot on Saturday night, so the Powerball prize keeps growing! Here’s everything you need to know in simple terms.


What Happened on Saturday, August 8?

Think of Powerball like a giant raffle where you pick numbers hoping they match the ones drawn. On Saturday, August 8, 2026, the jackpot was $856 million — but no one matched all six numbers.

Important Point: The jackpot rolls over to the next drawing when nobody wins. That’s why Monday’s prize is even bigger!


Saturday’s Winning Numbers

Here are the numbers that came out of the machine:

Number Type Numbers
White Balls (5 numbers) 5, 9, 35, 54, 63
Red Powerball (1 number) 7
Power Play Multiplier 3x

Double Play Numbers (a separate game):
14, 29, 46, 55, 59 + Powerball 16
No one won the $10 million Double Play jackpot either.


Who Still Won Money?

Even though nobody got the grand prize, five tickets won big:

Prize Location Details
$2 million Texas Matched all 5 white balls + bought Power Play (3x multiplier)
$1 million each Arizona, Florida, Michigan, New York Matched all 5 white balls (no Power Play)

Important Point: You don’t need the Powerball number to win $1 million — just the five white balls!


What’s Next? Monday, August 10 Drawing

Detail Information
Next Drawing Monday, August 10, 2026
Time ~10:59 PM Eastern Time
Jackpot $905 million (8th largest in Powerball history!)
Cash Option $391.9 million (lump sum before taxes)

How Powerball Works (ELI5 Version)

Imagine a machine with two buckets of balls:

  1. Bucket 1 (White Balls): Numbers 1–69. 5 balls come out.
  2. Bucket 2 (Red Powerball): Numbers 1–26. 1 ball comes out.

You win by matching:

  • Just the red Powerball$4
  • 1 white ball + Powerball$4
  • 2 white balls + Powerball$7
  • 3 white balls (no Powerball) → $7
  • 3 white balls + Powerball$100
  • 4 white balls (no Powerball) → $100
  • 4 white balls + Powerball$50,000
  • 5 white balls (no Powerball) → $1 million
  • 5 white balls + PowerballJACKPOT!

Important Point: Matching only white balls (no Powerball) wins nothing unless you get all 5 ($1M). The Powerball is the key to most prizes!


Ticket Costs & Add-Ons

Option Cost What It Does
Base Ticket $2 One set of numbers for the main drawing
+ Power Play +$1 Multiplies non-jackpot prizes (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x)
+ Double Play +$1 Enter a second drawing for a chance at $10 million

Example: A ticket with both add-ons = $4 total.


Double Play Results (Aug 8)

  • Numbers: 14, 29, 46, 55, 59 + Powerball 16
  • Jackpot: $10 million — no winner
  • $500,000 prize (5 white balls, no Powerball) — no winner
