On Saturday, August 8 2026, the U.S. Powerball drawing released the winning numbers for a $856 million jackpot, but no ticket matched the full five numbers plus the Power Play. The result was a jackpot rollover that pushed the prize to an estimated $905 million for the next draw, according to reports on Google News.
According to WKYC’s coverage, all other prize tiers in Ohio were hit, though the source does not list specific amounts or winners. Other outlets—including CBS News, ABC7 Los Angeles Live, and KCRA—reported that no ticket matched the jackpot and that the prize would continue to climb to $905 million. The lack of a winner meant the jackpot remained on the board for the next drawing.
The Powerball lottery is a multi‑state game in which jackpot amounts increase by $5 million each time no winner is found, making large prizes like $856 million and $905 million notable events for the gaming and betting community.
