CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Powerball jackpot is continuing its steady climb upward, sitting at $565 million for the drawing on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2025. Despite the impressive number, it still doesn’t crack the top 10 for largest Powerball jackpots in history. The largest was a $2.04 billion prize won in California in November 2022.

The winning numbers from the Wednesday, Aug. 13 drawing are 4, 11, 40, 44 and 50. The Powerball was 4 . The Power Play multiplier was 3x. No one won the Powerball jackpot. The next Powerball drawing is Saturday, Aug. 16. Drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

More than 780,000 Powerball tickets sold in the United States also won prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million, the lottery said.

The victory was initially worth $50,000, but the truck driver purchased the Power Play option, a 2X multiplier that instantly turned the prize into $100,000. Power Play is an optional add-on that can increase non-jackpot prizes depending on the multiplier randomly chosen during a Powerball drawing.

A lucky New York Lottery player from Queens claimed a $100,000 prize after matching four numbers and the Powerball on a ticket with Powerplay, purchased at a deli in Elmhurst. The ticket was for the July 20 Powerball drawing and was sold at Roxy Deli & Grocery,
