The Powerball jackpot is soaring! After no one matched all six numbers on Monday, August 4, 2025, the grand prize has climbed to a staggering $449 million! Could you be the lucky South African about to experience a life-changing windfall?
Winning Numbers for August 4, 2025
For those holding tickets, the winning numbers were: 8, 9, 19, 31, 38, and the Powerball is 21. The Power Play was 2X. Did your numbers come up? Double-check your tickets – you might be in for a pleasant surprise!
Did Anyone Win Big?
While the jackpot remains unclaimed, there were still some significant wins. A ticket purchased in Texas matched five numbers (but not the Powerball) and, with the Power Play, is worth a cool $2 million. Two other tickets, sold in Pennsylvania and Vermont, matched five numbers, each worth $1 million.
Next Powerball Draw: Don't Miss Out!
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Tickets cost just $2, and you can purchase them at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. In some regions, online ticket purchases are also available.
What Could You Win?
Matching just the Powerball gets you $4! The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize. And of course, matching all six numbers wins you the entire jackpot! But remember, if you choose the lump sum cash payout instead of annuity payments, you'll see a significant reduction due to federal and potentially state taxes.
Odds and Ends: Are You Feeling Lucky?
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. While those odds may seem daunting, someone *will* eventually win. Could it be you? Get your tickets, choose your numbers, and dream big! Good luck, South Africa!
