Powerball winning numbers: Results for Wednesday, August 19 drawing for the $48 million jackpot
Powerball players will be watching closely on Wednesday, August 19, with an estimated $48 million jackpot available after nobody matched all six numbers in the previous drawing.
The jackpot carries an estimated cash value of $20.8 million for anyone who wins and chooses the one-time lump sum instead of the annuity option.

However, the winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing aren’t available yet. Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, meaning the August 19 results will only be confirmed after tonight’s draw.
The previous drawing on Monday, August 17 produced the numbers 8, 15, 25, 49 and 65, with Powerball 22. The Power Play multiplier was 4x.
What are the Powerball numbers for August 19?
The official winning numbers for Wednesday, August 19 will be released after the 10:59 p.m. ET drawing.
Players need to match all five white balls plus the red Powerball to win the $48 million jackpot.
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play, while the optional Power Play feature costs an additional $1. Power Play can multiply most non-jackpot prizes, although the jackpot itself isn’t multiplied.
Players select five white ball numbers from 1 through 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 through 26.
What happened in the previous Powerball drawing?
Nobody won the jackpot on Monday, August 17, allowing the top prize to climb from an estimated $34 million to $48 million for Wednesday night.
One ticket sold in Florida matched all five white balls but missed the Powerball, earning the game’s $1 million Match 5 prize.
The jackpot had recently reset after a $1.04 billion prize was won in Illinois on August 12, one of the largest Powerball jackpots in the game’s history.
Wednesday’s $48 million jackpot is therefore still in the early stages of another potential run.
Players should remember that ticket sales close before the drawing, with exact cutoff times varying by jurisdiction.
The August 19 winning numbers will be confirmed after the draw takes place at 10:59 p.m. ET. Until then, any numbers circulating online shouldn’t be treated as official results.
