Did anyone win the Powerball last night for August 20, 2025? What we know about Wednesday's Powerball numbers and results for $650 million lottery jackpot.

The Powerball jackpot rose to $650 million for the Wednesday, Aug. 20, drawing after no one won the top prize on Monday, Aug. 18.

Powerball's record for top-winning prize in history was sold in 2016. Three winners from California, Florida and Tennessee shared the $1.586 billion.

The Powerball grand prize “jackpot” is only an estimate of the prize pool’s Treasury bond returns if the winner takes the payment in a 30-year annuity.

The Powerball jackpot climbed to $1.6 billion, setting a new lottery prize record. The prize keeps growing after nobody won the massive jackpot in Wednesday night's drawing.

WHAT WE FOUND How much money you get out of the Powerball jackpot is dependent on how you choose to claim your winnings: an annuity of 30 payments over 29 years, or a lump sum of cash all at once.
