See which states are the luckiest in the lottery
USA TODAY’s Fernando Cervantes shares which states have claimed the most Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots wins.
- The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $905 million after no grand prize winner in the August 8 drawing.
- While there was no jackpot winner, tickets in Texas, Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, and New York won prizes of $1 million or more.
- The current jackpot is the eighth-largest in Powerball history and the highest of 2026.
The Powerball jackpot is inching ever closer to the $1 billion mark after another drawing with no winner on Saturday, Aug. 8.
The jackpot sits at just over $900 million, holds the seat as the eighth-highest jackpot in the history of the game and is the highest jackpot of 2026. It has been more than three months since someone has taken home the grand prize, when the last Powerball jackpot was won on May 2 by two tickets in Texas and Florida, and it was $20 million.
But even it there was no jackpot winner, there were still plenty of prizes that went out.
Take a look at the winning numbers from the Saturday, Aug. 8, drawing and when South Carolina Powerball players can play again.
