The Powerball jackpot has risen to $565 million as of the August 13, 2025 drawing, marking the largest lottery prize in the United States for the year so far. No ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Wednesday night, causing the jackpot to increase from $526 million after the previous drawing on August 11, 2025. Winning tickets for recent large prizes were sold at two Miami-Dade Publix stores and a Sedano’s location. While a player in Kansas narrowly missed the $531 million jackpot, they still secured a substantial prize. Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET, including holidays. Experts have issued cautions about the potential for lottery addiction despite the allure of the growing jackpot.
