Powerball Jackpot Soars to $905 Million, Eighth Largest in Game History
The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $905 million for the upcoming Monday drawing, marking it as the eighth-largest in the game's history.
San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, August 10, 2026 —
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $905 million ahead of Monday night’s drawing. This monumental prize ranks as the eighth-largest jackpot in the history of the Powerball game.
As anticipation builds, millions of players are purchasing tickets for a chance to win the substantial sum. The growing jackpot is a result of a series of drawings without a grand prize winner, allowing the pot to accumulate over time.
The exact cash value of the jackpot, which is the amount a winner would receive if they chose a one-time lump sum payment, was not immediately available. Typically, winners have the option to take the advertised annuity value paid over 30 years, or a smaller, immediate cash payout.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week: on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
