On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, Powerball players across the United States held their breath as the numbers for the $531 million jackpot were revealed. While no one claimed the grand prize, Ohio lottery enthusiasts still had plenty of reasons to celebrate. Thousands of residents in the Buckeye State walked away with smaller, yet exciting, wins from the latest drawing.
The official Powerball winning numbers for August 13 were: 4, 11, 40, 44, 50, with a Powerball of 4 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x. These numbers sparked a wave of local wins, reaffirming that even without hitting the jackpot, Powerball can still bring fortune to lucky ticket holders.
What Were the Powerball Winning Numbers on August 13?
The August 13 drawing offered no jackpot winner, but the excitement was far from lost. The Powerball combination—4, 11, 40, 44, 50, with Powerball 4—resulted in thousands of winning tickets in Ohio alone.
Here’s the breakdown of Ohio winners from Wednesday’s draw:
$300 prize: 18 winners
$100 prize: 41 winners
$21 prize: 596 winners
$12 prize: 6,632 winners
$7 prize: 1,184 winners
$4 prize: 13,911 winners
That’s a total of 22,382 Ohio winners, proving that even the smaller tiers can bring a rush of excitement and extra cash into players’ pockets.
Why It Matters: Understanding Powerball Odds and Payouts
Although matching all five white balls plus the Powerball remains a steep challenge—with odds at 1 in 292,201,338—smaller prize tiers offer better chances of winning. For instance, the odds of winning $1 million by matching five white balls are 1 in 11,688,053, while the overall odds of winning any prize in Powerball are 1 in 24.87.
These statistics underscore why so many players still participate: the possibility of winning, even on a small scale, continues to draw millions.
The Power Play multiplier of 3x this week added more excitement, boosting non-jackpot prizes for those who opted into it. Players who matched four numbers plus the Powerball and had the Power Play would have taken home significant increases to their base prize.
What’s Next: The Jackpot Keeps Climbing
As no one matched all six numbers in the August 13 draw, the Powerball jackpot now rolls over to $565 million for the next drawing on Saturday, August 16, 2025. The cash value of the jackpot stands at an estimated $258.8 million—a life-changing sum for any potential winner.
If you’re feeling lucky, it’s time to grab your tickets. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Remember, you can play Powerball in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
