Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 11, 2026 —
The Powerball jackpot has ballooned to an estimated $975 million, marking the eighth-largest prize in the lottery’s history. This significant increase follows Monday night’s drawing, where no ticket managed to match all six numbers required to claim the grand prize.
Players will have another chance to win this massive sum on Wednesday. The estimated $975 million prize can be claimed as an annuity, paid over 30 years, totaling approximately $929 million, or as a lump sum cash option of $402.4 million.
This latest surge in the jackpot amount is part of a trend that has seen no grand prize winners for more than three months. The last Powerball jackpot was split between two winning tickets in early May, with winners originating from Florida and Texas.
