The Powerball drawing on August 9, 2025, had everyone on the edge of their seats with a huge jackpot up for grabs. Many people across the country checked their tickets hoping to become instant millionaires. If you’re wondering about the results from this Powerball drawing, we’ve got all the simple details right here. Let’s break it down step by step.
Winning Numbers from the August 9 Powerball Drawing
The winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on Saturday, August 9, 2025, were 7, 14, 23, 24, and 60. The red Powerball number was 14, and the Power Play multiplier came in at 2x. This means if you matched some numbers and added the Power Play option, your prizes could be doubled.
No one hit all the numbers to win the big jackpot in this Powerball drawing. That jackpot was estimated at $482 million, with a cash option of about $220.8 million before taxes. Since there was no winner, the prize money will roll over to the next Powerball drawing.
What About Other Prizes in This Powerball Drawing?
While the top prize went unclaimed, there could still be some lucky folks who won smaller amounts. Matching five white balls without the Powerball usually gets you $1 million, and with Power Play, that jumps to $2 million. Lower matches can win anywhere from $4 up to $100,000 or more, depending on the Power Play. Official prize breakdowns for this specific Powerball drawing are still being finalized, but check your tickets if you played!

The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday, August 11, 2025, at around 10:59 p.m. ET. With no jackpot winner from August 9, the prize is expected to grow even bigger. Past rollovers show it could climb well over $500 million, but we’ll have to wait for the official estimate. Powerball drawings happen three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays—so there’s always another chance soon.
