Powerball’s prize pool climbed to an estimated 815 million after no one matched all six numbers in the Monday, August 25 drawing. While the grand prize went unclaimed, two tickets sold in Georgia and Texas matched five numbers without the Powerball to win $1 million each.
Winning numbers and notable prizes
– Winning numbers: 16, 19, 34, 37, 64, with Power Ball 22
– Power Play: 3x multiplier for players who opted in, which would triple non-jackpot winnings
– Match 5 (no Powerball) prizes: Two tickets each won $1 million
– Power Play did not apply to these $1 million prizes
– Match 4 plus Powerball: 26 tickets won $50,000; five of these tickets multiplied to $150,000 with Power Play
