Nine tickets matched the five white balls (3, 18, 22, 27, 33) to win $1 million each; none added the Power Play to multiply those secondary prizes.<\/p>\n<p>The jackpot for Monday\u2019s drawing is estimated at $1.1 billion, with a lump-sum cash option of $498.4 million, both amounts pre-tax. A jackpot winner can select either the cash option or an annuity paid as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year, also before taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s rollover marks the sixth time the Powerball top prize has crossed the billion-dollar threshold. The last time the jackpot was won was on May 31, when a single ticket sold in California won $204.5 million (cash value $91.6 million).<\/p>\n<p>Four of the five previous billion-plus jackpots were sold in California. That list includes the standing all-time lottery record: a single ticket purchased in Altadena in 2022 that won $2.04 billion.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Latest drawing snapshot<\/figcaption><table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Draw date<\/th>\n<th>Winning numbers<\/th>\n<th>Powerball<\/th>\n<th>Jackpot<\/th>\n<th>Jackpot winner?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><time datetime=\"2025-08-30\">Aug. 30, 2025<\/time><\/td>\n<td>3, 18, 22, 27, 33<\/td>\n<td>17<\/td>\n<td>~$1.0B (prior to rollover)<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Context &amp; Impact<\/h2>\n<p>With the jackpot now projected at $1.1 billion, retailers typically see a surge in ticket sales ahead of the next draw.

Drawings are conducted in Tallahassee at 11 p.m. ET on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>While massive jackpots attract casual buyers, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain extremely long (approximately 1 in 292 million, per Powerball). Financial considerations also matter: the headline amount reflects the 30-payment annuity; the cash option\u2014$498.4 million for Monday\u2014is typically lower and both options are subject to federal (and, in many places, state) taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Players should verify local cutoff times for ticket sales on draw days and check tickets carefully for secondary prizes, which can be significant\u2014Saturday\u2019s draw produced nine $1 million winners.<\/p>\n<h3>Official Updates<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Officials posted results showing no jackpot-winning tickets for the Aug. 30 drawing and published the winning numbers: 3, 18, 22, 27, 33; Powerball 17.<\/p>\n<p><cite>Powerball.com<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<aside>\n<details>\n<summary>How the payout options work<\/summary>\n<p>Annuity: One immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that rise by 5% each year, before taxes.
