The Powerball drawing tonight has once again kept lottery fans across the country on the edge of their seats. With an estimated jackpot of $526 million and a cash option of $241 million, this week’s game was one of the most anticipated events in recent months. Players from coast to coast eagerly awaited the Powerball results to see if they could become the next big winner in America’s favorite multi-state lottery.
Powerball Results for August 13, 2025
The Powerball numbers tonight were: 4, 11, 40, 44, 50, and the Powerball was 4. The Power Play multiplier for this draw was 3X. While many tuned in for the live Powerball drawing tonight at 10:59 p.m. ET, official reports indicate that no one has yet been confirmed as the jackpot winner. That means the prize could roll over again, potentially pushing the jackpot even higher for the next drawing.
Did Anyone Win the Powerball Jackpot?
As of now, the lottery numbers have been verified, but no single ticket matched all six numbers. This means the massive jackpot will continue to grow. Smaller prizes, however, have been awarded to players who matched partial combinations of the Powerball results. Even matching just the Powerball number itself can net players a $4 prize, while higher matches can mean significantly larger payouts.
How to Win in Powerball
To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all five white-ball numbers plus the red Powerball. But players can still walk away with smaller prizes by matching fewer numbers. For example:
- Match only the Powerball: $4
- Match one white-ball number + Powerball: $4
- Match three white-ball numbers: $7
- Match four white-ball numbers: $100
- Match five white-ball numbers (no Powerball): $1 million
Adding the Power Play option for an additional $1 can multiply non-jackpot winnings up to five times, making the lottery even more exciting.
Upcoming Powerball Drawing Schedule
For those already planning their next shot at the jackpot, the next Powerball drawing will take place on Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Drawings occur three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday—giving players multiple chances to test their luck.
A single lottery ticket costs $2, with optional add-ons like Power Play or Double Play for an extra $1 each. These add-ons can significantly increase your potential winnings without changing your jackpot odds.
Historical Powerball Jackpots
The current $526 million prize is impressive, but it still falls short of the record-setting Powerball lottery jackpots in history. The largest jackpot ever was a staggering $2.04 billion won in California in November 2022. Other notable jackpots include $1.765 billion in October 2023 and $1.586 billion split among winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee back in January 2016.
Why Powerball Remains America’s Favorite Lottery
The thrill of a massive payday, the simplicity of the rules, and the frequent lottery drawings have kept Powerball at the forefront of U.S. gaming culture. Whether you’re a casual player buying a ticket for fun or a serious lottery enthusiast, the game’s huge jackpots and wide availability make it hard to resist.
With tonight’s Powerball drawing tonight resulting in no jackpot winner, anticipation will only grow for Saturday’s drawing. The jackpot could inch closer to the billion-dollar mark if the winning combination remains elusive—adding even more excitement for lottery fans nationwide.
