The Powerball numbers for Saturday, August 8, 2026, are out — and there was no jackpot winner. The massive prize will roll over again after nobody matched all five white balls and the red Powerball.
Lottery players across the United States were watching closely as Powerball returned with one of the biggest jackpots of the year.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, August 8 drawing were:
Powerball Winning Numbers
5 – 9 – 35 – 54 – 63
Powerball: 7
Power Play: 3X
The official Powerball results list an estimated jackpot of $864 million, with a cash value of approximately $374.1 million. No ticket matched all six numbers to win the jackpot.
Was the $864 Million Powerball Jackpot Won?
No.
There was no jackpot winner in Saturday night's drawing.
That means the already massive Powerball prize will continue to grow for the next drawing.
While nobody hit the jackpot, several players still walked away with major prizes.
According to the official results, one ticket sold in Texas matched all five white balls and used Power Play, winning $2 million.
Four additional tickets matched the five white numbers and won $1 million each. Those tickets were sold in Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New York.
So, while nobody became an instant multimillionaire from the jackpot, five players still had a very good night.

New Jersey Players: Check Your Tickets
For New Jersey lottery players, the numbers are the same as the national Powerball draw because Powerball is a multi-state lottery game.
Anyone who purchased a ticket in New Jersey should carefully compare it with:
5 – 9 – 35 – 54 – 63 + Powerball 7
The New Jersey Lottery provides official Powerball results and ticket information for players in the state.
Even if you didn't match all six numbers, your ticket could still qualify for a smaller prize.
So don't throw that ticket away before checking it properly.
The Jackpot Was Huge — But Nobody Hit It
The jackpot had already climbed dramatically after previous drawings failed to produce a winner.
Before the August 8 drawing, the jackpot was being estimated at around $856 million, making it one of the largest Powerball prizes of 2026.
The final official result put the estimated jackpot at $864 million, with the cash option listed at $374.1 million.
And now that nobody won, lottery fans have another reason to pay attention to the next drawing.
How Hard Is It to Win Powerball?
Here's the reality check.
The jackpot odds are approximately 1 in 292.2 million for a single Powerball play.
Players select five numbers from 1 through 69 and one Powerball number from 1 through 26.
That means the odds of hitting the jackpot are incredibly low.
Winning a smaller prize is considerably more likely, but the jackpot remains one of the most difficult prizes to hit in American lotteries.
A standard Powerball play costs $2, while Power Play costs an additional $1.
What Happens to the Jackpot Now?
Because nobody matched all six numbers, the jackpot rolls over to the next drawing.
That means lottery players will once again have a chance to chase a potentially enormous prize.
The jackpot amount for the next drawing will depend on ticket sales and the official lottery estimate.
And considering how much attention the $864 million jackpot generated, the next prize could become even more tempting.
Powerball Is Back Again Soon
Powerball drawings take place three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Saturday — at approximately 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
Players who bought tickets for August 8 should check their numbers carefully before assuming they didn't win.
Remember: matching the jackpot requires all five white numbers plus the Powerball.
But there are multiple lower prize tiers, so missing the jackpot doesn't necessarily mean the ticket is worthless.
The Bottom Line
The August 8, 2026 Powerball drawing delivered another massive jackpot — but no jackpot winner.
The winning numbers were:
5 – 9 – 35 – 54 – 63
Powerball: 7
Power Play: 3X
One Texas ticket won $2 million, while four tickets from Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New York won $1 million each.
But the biggest prize remains unclaimed.
The Powerball jackpot rolls on.
