Regional outlets report a Powerball drawing took place on Aug. 5, 2026, and that no ticket matched all numbers to win the jackpot. Multiple reports identified at least one lower-tier winner, including an Ohio ticket that won a $1 million prize.
Drawing results and lower-tier winners
Some outlets reported the winning white-ball numbers as 14, 20, 59, 60 and 61 for the Aug. 5 drawing. Coverage across regional sources also noted that a $1 million prize was claimed by a ticket sold in Ohio, confirming at least one significant lower-tier winner in the drawing.
Reported jackpot estimates
Outlets provided differing estimates for the advertised jackpot and corresponding cash values. Two outlets reported an estimated jackpot of $786 million with a cash option near $341.6 million, while another reported the advertised jackpot at $794 million with a cash option near $345.2 million. One report indicated the jackpot was growing toward an estimated $856 million for the next drawing, with a cited cash value around $372 million. These figures are reported by regional news outlets and vary between sources.
Regional coverage did not present a single unified figure for the advertised jackpot or cash option, but consistently reported that no jackpot-winning ticket was sold on Aug. 5 and that at least one $1 million prize was awarded in Ohio. The differing jackpot estimates across outlets reflect variations in how news organizations reported the advertised annuity and cash-option amounts for this drawing.
