A $748 Million Jackpot Is on the Line. Here Are Monday's Winning Powerball Numbers
No ticket matched all six numbers, and six players won at least $1 million as the prize climbed toward Powerball's top 10 list.
The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $748 million on Monday, August 3, 2026, after no ticket matched all six numbers, with a cash value of $325.1 million for the next drawing.
Officials recorded the winning numbers as 8-30-41-48-54, with a Powerball of 4, while the Power Play multiplier for the drawing was 2x, affecting non-jackpot prize winnings.
Experts recommend that winners consult tax professionals like Mark Steber, Chief Tax Officer at Jackson Hewitt, who stated, "This is where a tax professional really comes in handy."
Winners may choose between an annuity paid over 29 years or a lump-sum payment, though tax obligations vary significantly by jurisdiction, as California does not tax lottery winnings.
The current $748 million jackpot remains shy of the all-time Top 10 list, as the $758.7 million prize won in Massachusetts in 2017 ranks as the 10th-largest on record.
