Powerball jackpot climbs to $565 million. When is the next drawing and what are the chances of winning?
You have more chances of getting eaten by a shark than winning the jackpot. The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $565 million after no one won the $531 million grand prize on Wednesday, Aug. 13. That means there's still a chance — one in about 292 million — that someone could take home the jackpot after the next drawing on Saturday, Aug. 16. Unfortunately, a person is more likely to get eaten by a shark than win the Powerball jackpot. But, hey, you never know. I need to check my Powerball numbers. What were they from Wednesday's drawing? The winning Powerball numbers for Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025, were 4-11-40-44-50, and the Powerball was 4. The Power Play multiplier was 3X. That's a lot of numbers. How do you play? First, purchase a Powerball ticket, which you can do at a local convenience store, gas station or grocery store. (This excludes Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah, where Powerball is not played.) You'll pick a total of six numbers. The first five numbers have to be between 1 and 69 for the white balls. For the red Powerball, you'll pick one number between 1 and 26. You can choose your numbers by filling out a play slip, or you can have them randomly selected by a computer. The drawing of the numbers is held live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET in Florida. Sales cut-off times before the drawing vary by one to two hours, depending on the location. You can watch the drawings here. Let's cut to the chase. How do you win? In order to win the grand prize jackpot, you have to match the numbers of all five white balls (in any order) and the red Powerball number in a given play line. You cannot crisscross play lines or combine numbers from other tickets. Jackpot winners can choose to receive the winnings in 30 yearly payments or as a one-time lump-sum payment. Both are subject to federal and jurisdictional taxes. If players don't match all six numbers, there are still eight other ways they can win a monetary prize with a combination of matching some white ball numbers alone, or with the red Powerball number visualized here. For example, three lucky winners, from New Hampshire, Oregon and Texas, won the $1 million prize for matching five of the white ball numbers on Wednesday, Aug. 13. People also have the option to add a 'Power Play' for $1 per play line. This can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times. The multiplier amount is drawn and announced during the Powerball drawing. If there are no grand prize winners, the cash prize will continue to increase. How many Powerball grand prize winners have there been this year? Four lucky grand prize winners have won big so far in 2025: May 31: $205 million jackpot won in California April 26: $167 million grand prize won in Kentucky March 29: $527 million jackpot won in California Jan. 18: $329 million grand prize won in Oregon Solve the daily Crossword
