Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $131 Million Following Saturday Drawing
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $131 million following the Saturday drawing where no winning ticket was sold. The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, August 31.
Cleveland Akron, OH, August 30, 2026 — The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $131 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the most recent Saturday drawing. This significant increase follows the lack of a grand prize winner during Saturday’s draw.
The winning numbers from Saturday’s drawing were not provided in the available information. The absence of a ticket matching the complete sequence of numbers means the jackpot will roll over, accumulating more funds for the next opportunity to win.
Lottery players will have another chance to win the substantial prize during the upcoming drawing, scheduled for Monday, August 31. The contractor responsible for the lottery system was not specified, nor were details regarding the specific previous jackpot amount before it reached $131 million.
For players to win the jackpot, their ticket must match all five white ball numbers and the red Powerball number. Specific details regarding the outcome of ticket sales for the Saturday drawing, such as the number of tickets sold or regional distribution of winners for smaller prize tiers, were not made available.
The Powerball lottery is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
