The anticipation for the next Powerball drawing is growing as the jackpot has surged to an impressive $185 million following Monday night’s drawing, which failed to produce a top prize winner. Should someone clinch the jackpot on Wednesday, the winner could opt for a substantial lump-sum payment of $92.1 million, based on lottery estimates.
Wednesday’s winning numbers were drawn at approximately 11 p.m. ET, and the results are now in. The numbers drawn for the Powerball on August 7, 2024, are 6, 19, 35, 47, 57, with the Powerball number being 9 and a Powerplay multiplier of 3X.
Although there were no jackpot winners or Match 5 + Power Play $2 million prize winners, the drawing did yield three lucky individuals who matched five numbers. Two of these $1 million winners are from Texas, and one is from Georgia.
For those eager to try their luck in the next drawing, playing the Powerball involves purchasing a $2 ticket from local retailers such as convenience stores, gas stations, or grocery stores. In some states, tickets are also available for purchase online. Players will need to select six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 69 and a single red Powerball number from 1 to 26. An additional $1 can add a “Power Play” option to increase non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
For a more convenient option, players can ask for a “Quick Pick,” where a computer will randomly generate a set of numbers for them.
Powerball drawings take place on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. If no one claims the jackpot, the prize amount continues to climb by millions.
