Powerball Results: No Jackpot Winner; Wisconsin Ticket Wins $2M.
The latest Powerball results from the Monday, August 3rd drawing have been announced. The jackpot, which had grown to an estimated $748 million ($325.1 million cash value), remained unclaimed. Among the winners was a ticket in Wisconsin that matched all five white balls and the Power Play, securing a prize of $2 million.
The winning numbers for this drawing were 8, 30, 41, 48, and 54 with the Powerball being 4. The Power Play multiplier was set at 2x. Despite the substantial jackpot, no player managed to match all six numbers required to claim the grand prize.
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th, with drawings held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. In Michigan, ticket sales are available until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw both in-store and online.
Each Powerball ticket costs $2, though for an additional dollar per play, players can activate the Power Play feature which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or ten times. The 10x multiplier is only active when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.
The overall odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately one in 292.2 million. Drawings are broadcast live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee and can also be viewed online through Powerball.com. The winning numbers are promptly posted on both the official Powerball and Michigan Lottery websites.
For those seeking a second chance, Michigan players have the option to purchase the Double Play feature for an additional $1 per play. This allows them to use their numbers in a subsequent drawing held between 11:30 and 11:40 p.m., with potential prizes ranging up to $10 million.
It is worth noting that the Power Play multiplier does not apply to any winnings from the Double Play drawing, ensuring a clear distinction between the two features.
