Powerball: See the Winning Numbers in Wednesday’s $643 Million Drawing

The Powerball jackpot climbed due to no winner on Aug. 18, offering a $290.6 million cash option with federal taxes reducing the payout significantly, officials said.

  • The Powerball lottery offers a $643 million jackpot in the drawing scheduled for Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • The jackpot increased because no grand prize winner was declared in the previous drawing on Monday, August 18, 2025, despite ticket sales rising 40% from last year.
  • Powerball tickets cost $2 each, and players buying them across 45 states plus DC, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico compete with odds of about 1 in 292.2 million to win the grand prize.
  • Winners have the option to receive the jackpot either as 30 yearly installments or as a single lump-sum payment valued at about $290.6 million before taxes, which will be lowered by federal and possibly state tax withholdings.
  • The rising jackpot and increased ticket sales suggest growing interest in the lottery, while tax obligations and long odds temper the expected net winnings for participants.
