Powerball Winning Numbers: Results for Monday, August 24 drawing for the $81 million jackpot
Tonight's Powerball drawing offers an estimated $81 million jackpot, with the winning numbers to be announced after the draw
P owerball players are waiting for the winning numbers from the Monday, August 24, 2026, drawing, with an estimated $81 million jackpot up for grabs.
At the time of writing, the August 24 drawing has not yet taken place, meaning the official winning numbers are not available yet.
The drawing is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, so anyone looking for the numbers ahead of the drawing will need to wait until the official draw has been completed. Powerball's official website confirms that drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET.
The estimated $81 million prize follows Saturday night's drawing, which failed to produce a jackpot winner. The numbers drawn on Saturday, August 22, were 13, 31, 54, 57 and 65, with Powerball 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3X.
Because nobody matched all five white balls and the Powerball , the jackpot rolled over to Monday's drawing.
Powerball winning numbers for August 24 are still pending
Once Monday night's drawing is complete, the official results will consist of five white-ball numbers plus one red Powerball number.
Players should be careful about numbers circulating online before the drawing. The official Powerball results are the definitive source, and lottery tickets should be checked against the official numbers after the draw rather than relying solely on social-media posts or unofficial lottery websites.
The estimated jackpot for Monday is $81 million, while the estimated lump-sum cash option is approximately $34.8 million before taxes. State lottery information confirms those figures for the August 24 drawing.
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play. Players select five numbers from the white-ball pool and one Powerball number, although the lottery also offers a Quick Pick option for randomly generated selections. The game provides several ways to win prizes even without matching all six numbers.
A ticket matching all five white balls but missing the Powerball is worth $1 million under the standard prize structure. Matching fewer numbers can also produce prizes, with the Powerball alone being enough to win a smaller prize.
The Power Play option can increase eligible non-jackpot prizes for an additional $1 per play. The multiplier varies from drawing to drawing.
For Monday's drawing, the previous 3X Power Play was attached to Saturday's game, so players should check the multiplier associated with their own August 24 ticket.
What time is the Powerball drawing?
The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, August 24. Sales deadlines are determined by individual participating jurisdictions and generally occur before the drawing. Powerball says cutoff times can vary by state and jurisdiction, so players should check their local lottery's rules.
Powerball is played across 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The lottery also expanded ticket sales into the United Kingdom beginning July 21, 2026.
The jackpot can be claimed in either annuity or cash form. The advertised $81 million figure represents the estimated annuitized prize, while the cash option is considerably smaller because it represents the amount available as a one-time payment before applicable taxes.
For now, however, there is no August 24 winning combination to report. The winning numbers are pending until tonight's 10:59 p.m. ET drawing.
Previous drawing, Saturday, August 22: 13, 31, 54, 57, 65 + Powerball 23. Monday, August 24 jackpot: $81 million estimated annuity / $34.8 million estimated cash value.
