Powerball jackpot drawing reaches $786M: Check your ticket 06.08.2026

The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $786 million, with a cash value of $341.6 million, ahead of the Aug. 5 drawing. This prize ranks as the ninth-largest in the game's history, fueled by a rollover streak that began after the last jackpot win on May 2, when tickets in Texas and Florida split a $20 million prize. The jackpot has grown over more than three months of unclaimed prizes, transforming a modest payout into one of the year's largest lottery awards.
