Chicago, IL, August 10, 2026 —

The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $975 million after no ticket managed to match all six numbers in Monday night’s drawing. The prize had been advertised at $929.1 million for the draw held on Monday.

The lack of a grand prize winner means the jackpot continues to grow, with the next drawing scheduled to take place soon. This latest increase marks a significant milestone for the lottery, drawing further attention from hopeful participants across the country.

While no one hit the top prize, three tickets did manage to secure substantial winnings in Monday’s drawing. These tickets were sold in Tennessee, Maryland, and Los Angeles. These tickets matched some, but not all, of the winning numbers, earning their holders significant secondary prizes.

The specific amounts won by these three tickets were not detailed in the information available. Further details regarding the location of the ticket sales within these states and cities are expected to be released by lottery officials.

The Powerball lottery involves players selecting five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. The odds of winning the jackpot are extremely low, contributing to the rapid accumulation of large prize amounts when the top prize goes unclaimed for multiple drawings.

The estimated $975 million prize is for a winner who chooses to receive their winnings through an annuity, paid out over 30 years. A cash option, which is a lump sum payment, will also be available to the winner, though its value is typically lower than the advertised annuity amount. The cash option value was not immediately provided.
