Powerball Winning Numbers for July 31, 2025 – See If You’re the Next Millionaire
• Hot Trendy News
Winning Numbers for Wednesday, July 30, 2025
The latest Powerball drawing produced the following combination:
• White balls: 4 – 15 – 35 – 50 – 64
• Powerball: 8
• Power Play: 4X
Did Anyone Win the Powerball Jackpot?
No ticket matched all six numbers, so the top prize rolled over once again. A ticket sold in Massachusetts did match five numbers with Power Play, turning the usual $1 million “Match 5” prize into $2 million.
How Big Is the Next Powerball Jackpot?
Because the grand prize went unclaimed, Saturday night’s drawing (Aug. 2) now boasts an estimated $410 million annuity, or $184.9 million cash option. It would be the fifth-largest Powerball pot of 2025 so far.
When and Where to Watch the Next Drawing
Powerball numbers are drawn live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET from lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida. You can see the drawing on most local stations carrying lottery coverage or stream it at Powerball.com.
How to Play Powerball
1. Buy a $2 ticket before your state’s sales cut-off (typically 1–2 hours before the drawing).
2. Pick five white-ball numbers from 1–69 and one red Powerball from 1–26, or choose Quick Pick.
3. For an extra $1, add the Power Play multiplier to boost non-jackpot prizes up to 10X when jackpots are under $150 million.
4. Some states also offer Double Play for a second chance at prizes up to $10 million.
Prize Payouts and Odds
• Jackpot (5 + PB): 1 in 292,201,338
• Match 5: $1 million (1 in 11,688,053)
• Match 4 + PB: $50,000 (1 in 913,129)
Overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9.

• Feb 15: $131.3 million – Michigan winner
• Jan 18: $328.5 million – Oregon winner
What to Do If You Win
1. Sign the back of the ticket immediately.
2. Secure it in a safe place and consult a financial adviser.
3. Check your state’s claim deadline (180 days to one year).
4. Decide between the cash option and the 30-year graduated annuity.
5. Remember that federal taxes (currently 24% withheld) apply; most states also tax lottery winnings.
Responsible Play
Set a budget and stick to it. The lottery should be entertainment, not a financial plan. If you feel you may have a gambling problem, call the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-522-4700.
