The U.S. Powerball lottery has once again captured global attention, with its jackpot surging to $501 million after no one claimed the top prize in the Monday, August 11, 2025 draw. The cash option for this jackpot stands at an estimated $229.5 million before taxes.
The numbers drawn were: 6, 16, 33, 40, 62, and the Powerball was 2. The Power Play multiplier was 2X, potentially doubling non-jackpot winnings for lucky ticket holders.
While no player matched all six numbers, several tickets won smaller prizes ranging from $4 to $2 million, depending on the numbers matched and Power Play use.
This $501 million prize is the second-largest Powerball jackpot of 2025 and ranks as the 18th biggest in the game’s history. If there’s no winner in the next draw, the prize could grow enough to break into the all-time top ten jackpots.

The next drawing will be held on Wednesday, August 13, at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players in participating U.S. states—and some overseas via online lottery services—will be watching closely.
Even if you don’t hit the jackpot, matching fewer numbers can still yield significant payouts, especially with the Power Play option.
U.S. lottery winnings are subject to 24% federal tax withholding, with additional state taxes where applicable. For international winners who play legally via official services, local tax laws would also apply.
Though Powerball tickets are not sold directly in most Asian countries, its massive jackpots spark worldwide conversation. The allure of a life-changing win—whether it’s in New York, Tokyo, or Dubai—remains a universal dream.
With the next draw just around the corner, the world is watching to see if someone will finally claim this half-billion-dollar prize—or if it will keep climbing.
