Powerball Jackpot Hits $905 Million After Five Tickets Miss by One Number in Latest Draw
TL;DR — Five tickets matched five white balls but missed the red Powerball in the Aug. 8 draw, rolling the jackpot to an estimated $905 million for Aug. 10. It ranks as the eighth-largest in Powerball history with odds at 1 in 292.2 million. MUSL operates across 45 states, territories and now the UK.
SCCG Take — The buildup tests sustained player engagement across jurisdictions as the prize nears $1 billion, with clear revenue mechanics for the operator but unchanged long odds.
The Aug. 8 Powerball drawing produced five tickets that matched all five white balls but missed the red Powerball, as detailed by reporting from Casino.org. No grand prize winner emerged. The jackpot rolled over for the 42nd time and now stands at an estimated $905 million for the Aug. 10 drawing.
The drawn numbers were 5, 9, 35, 54, 63 with red Powerball 7. Four of the Match 5 tickets won $1 million each. The fifth ticket, sold in Texas with the $1 Power Play add-on, doubled to $2 million. The other four tickets were sold in Arizona, Florida, Michigan and New York.
Jackpot Run Reaches Eighth-Richest Level
No ticket has claimed the Powerball jackpot since May 2, when two tickets split a $20 million prize. Monday’s drawing marks the 43rd in the current run. The $905 million prize ranks as the eighth-richest in Powerball history dating to 1992 and 15th all-time across U.S. lottery games.
A winner on Aug. 10 could select $905 million paid in 29 annual installments or a cash option of $391.9 million. The Multi-State Lottery Association runs the game for 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and, since late July, the United Kingdom. Drawings occur Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST from Florida.
Secondary Prizes and Long Odds in Focus
The same draw produced 44 tickets that matched four white balls plus the Powerball, good for $50,000 each. Twelve of those included the Power Play at 3X and paid $150,000. The Power Play multiplier applies to non-jackpot prizes at 2X through 10X, though Match 5 prizes cap at 2X.
The odds of hitting all six numbers remain 1 in 292.2 million. That compares to roughly 1 in 11 million lifetime odds of dying in a plane crash.
Where Player Interest Builds Next
The continued rollover brings the advertised prize closer to the $1 billion threshold and keeps the multi-jurisdictional game’s mechanics in view for the next drawing.
