Powerball jackpot falls to $35 million after Saturday draw yields no winner
No ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday's Powerball drawing, resetting the jackpot to an estimated $35 million for the Monday draw.
The Powerball drawing on Saturday, Aug. 15, did not produce a jackpot winner, as no ticket matched the six winning numbers 5-8-27-29-63 with the Powerball 13. Consequently, the top prize will be reset to an estimated $35 million, with a cash option of $15.2 million, for the next drawing on Monday, Aug. 17, at roughly 10:59 p.m. ET.
The Monday draw will continue the regular schedule of Powerball games held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Players can watch the drawing live on the Powerball website and view replays on the game's YouTube channel.
Last week's $1.04 billion jackpot, won in Illinois on Aug. 12, ranks as the eighth-largest Powerball jackpot in the game's history. The reset follows that large payout, which ended a period during which the jackpot had exceeded the billion-dollar mark.
Powerball has recently expanded to the United Kingdom, where tickets cost £4 and prize structures differ from the U.S. version. U.K. winners receive annual payments through the National Lottery, while U.S. winners may choose a lump-sum payment or annuity.
