Did Anyone Win the Powerball? Winning Lottery Numbers for August 16, 2025 Revealed

In another dramatic Powerball drawing held on Saturday, August 16, 2025, lottery fever reached new heights across the United States as players hoped to hit the staggering $565 million jackpot. However, despite the high stakes and mounting anticipation, no one matched all six numbers to claim the grand prize.

The winning numbers for the August 16 draw were 23, 40, 49, 65, 69, with the Powerball number 23. The Power Play multiplier was 3x.

According to the Asbury Park Press, the jackpot will now continue to grow, with the next drawing scheduled for Monday, August 18, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. EST.

What Are the Latest Powerball Winning Lottery Numbers?

The Powerball draw on Saturday produced the following winning combination:

• White Balls: 23, 40, 49, 65, 69

• Powerball: 23

• Power Play: 3x

Although no ticket claimed the top prize, smaller winners were still in luck. Players who matched five white balls without the Powerball won $1 million, and those with Power Play turned that into $2 million. Other prize tiers ranged from $4 to $200,000, depending on matches and whether Power Play was selected.

The odds of winning the jackpot remain a staggering 1 in 292.2 million, a reminder of how elusive the grand prize truly is. Still, thousands of hopefuls continue to test their luck, with every draw creating new millionaires or bolstering dreams of hitting it big.

Why It Matters: The Impact of Rolling Jackpots

When there’s no jackpot winner, the prize rolls over—fueling public excitement and increasing ticket sales across the country. Larger jackpots also lead to higher public engagement, media coverage, and economic activity around lottery retailers.

With each draw, the pool of hopeful winners expands, and the potential windfall grows. This cycle of rollover continues until one lucky ticket holder matches all five white balls and the Powerball number.

What’s Next for the Powerball Jackpot?

The current jackpot now exceeds the half-billion mark and is expected to grow even larger before Monday’s drawing. Should there still be no winner, the jackpot could soon approach the billion-dollar milestone, a number that historically leads to explosive sales and national attention.

Powerball players are encouraged to check their numbers, secure their tickets, and prepare for Monday night’s exciting draw.
