No one won the advertised $754 million Powerball jackpot in the drawing held Aug. 3, Powerball reported. The result means the top prize will roll over to the next drawing, increasing the advertised jackpot.

Winning numbers and a $2 million prize

Powerball reported the Aug. 3 winning numbers as 8, 30, 41, 48 and 54, with the Powerball 4. At least one ticket sold in Wisconsin matched five white balls plus the multiplier, winning a $2 million prize, officials said.

Jackpot outlook for next drawing

After the Aug. 3 drawing produced no jackpot winner, the advertised jackpot was reported to grow to an estimated $786 million for the Aug. 5 drawing. The increase reflects the standard rollover process when no ticket matches every number required for the top prize.

Players with winning tickets are advised to check official state lottery resources for claim instructions and validation. The reported numbers and the Wisconsin $2 million prize are confirmed in Powerball’s post-draw reporting; potential prize amounts and next-drawing estimates are subject to official confirmation by lottery authorities.

The key verified facts remain: the Aug. 3 drawing produced no jackpot winner, the published winning numbers were 8, 30, 41, 48, 54 and Powerball 4, a Wisconsin ticket won $2 million, and the next advertised jackpot was reported at about $786 million.
