The Powerball jackpot climbed to a massive $479 million for Saturday night’s drawing on August 9, 2025, with a cash option of $219.4 million after no one matched all numbers in Wednesday’s game. The winning numbers for Saturday’s draw have now been revealed — and while there was no jackpot winner, one lucky player still struck it rich.
The winning white balls were 7, 14, 23, 24, and 60, with the red Powerball number 14. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
According to lottery officials, a ticket matching all five white balls — but not the Powerball — was sold in Illinois, earning its holder a $1 million prize. No ticket matched all six numbers, meaning the jackpot will roll over yet again.

How Many Numbers Do You Need to Win Powerball?

For example:
If you hit two white balls and the Powerball, you’ll take home $7.
Four white balls and the Powerball unlocks a $50,000 payday.
Matching all five white balls without the Powerball still pays a $1 million fixed prize.
