While the colossal jackpot went unclaimed in this drawing, the excitement doesn't end here. Even without hitting the grand prize, many players across the country secured significant wins by matching fewer numbers, thanks to Powerball's various prize tiers.

From smaller sums to substantial six-figure payouts, every matched number brings you closer to a prize.

For those new to the thrill of Powerball, the game is deceptively simple but incredibly challenging to win. Players select five white ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26.

For an additional dollar, players can add the Power Play option, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times, excluding the Match 5 prize which is capped at $2 million.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are famously steep, standing at a remarkable 1 in 292.2 million. However, the overall odds of winning any prize are much more favorable, at 1 in 24.87.

This keeps the hope alive for countless participants in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

With no grand prize winner for Monday's drawing, the jackpot will now roll over, continuing to swell to an even more monumental sum for the next drawing. Mark your calendars! The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 10:59 p.m.

ET. This presents another golden opportunity for fortune to smile upon a lucky ticket holder.

Remember to sign the back of your ticket immediately after purchase, as it is your only proof of ownership. Prizes must be claimed within a specific timeframe, which varies by state. Don't let a winning ticket go to waste! Always check official lottery websites or authorized retailers for definitive results.
