No ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday, August 8's Powerball drawing, pushing the jackpot for Monday, August 10 to an estimated $905 million (with a $391.9 million cash option). The prize has grown since May 2 when two tickets in Texas and Florida split a $20 million jackpot. The expansion is notable because Powerball tickets became available in the United Kingdom on July 21, marking the first time UK players can compete for the jackpot alongside players in 45 US states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
- No winner claimed the $856 million jackpot in Saturday's drawing; it grows to $905 million for Monday's drawing, the eighth-largest in Powerball history.
- The jackpot has been rolling over for 41 consecutive drawings since May 2, 2026, when a $20 million prize was split between Texas and Florida tickets.
- Powerball expansion to the United Kingdom (launched July 21) adds a new player base that could accelerate future jackpot growth.
- The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain 1 in 292.2 million, making it far less likely than being struck by lightning.
