Powerball Jackpot Reaches $225 Million for June 8 Drawing; Check Your Ticket Results
Anonymous
The Powerball jackpot climbed to an estimated $225 million for Monday's June 8 drawing, with a cash option of $100.3 million. The winning numbers were 03, 24, 34, 43, and 49, with a Powerball of 20 and a Power Play of 3x, according to Powerball Official.
The jackpot had been building since May 2, when players in Florida and Texas split a $20 million prize. No one has matched all six numbers since, sending the pot surging over the past five weeks, North Jersey reported.
A Jackpot That Kept Growing Since May
The last Powerball jackpot hit on May 2, 2026. Two tickets — one in Florida, one in Texas — split a $20 million prize. Since then, the pot rolled over drawing after drawing. By June 8, it had reached $225 million, according to North Jersey.
The June 6 drawing produced no jackpot winner. The numbers that night were 16, 32, 55, 59, and 64 with a Powerball of 3. That rollover pushed the prize even higher heading into Monday's draw.
How to Check If Your Ticket Is a Winner
The June 8 winning numbers are 03 – 24 – 34 – 43 – 49. The Powerball is 20. The Power Play multiplier is 3x. Match all five white balls plus the Powerball and you win the jackpot. The odds of doing that are 1 in 292,201,338.
You don't need to hit the jackpot to win something. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.87. Smaller prizes start at $4 for matching just the Powerball alone. Players who added the $1 Power Play option can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 5 times, Delaware Online noted.
Where to Buy Tickets and Claim Your Prize
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play. You can buy them at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores in 45 states, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Online purchases are available through Jackpocket in select states, according to North Jersey.
Prize claim rules vary by state. In Kansas, retailers redeem prizes up to $599, according to CJ Online. In Delaware, winners can claim up to $5,001 at any lottery retailer, Delaware Online reported. Larger prizes must be claimed directly through your state lottery office.
Powerball Goes Global as Jackpot Fatigue Sets In
In April 2026, the Multi-State Lottery Association — the nonprofit group that runs Powerball — struck a deal with Allwyn UK, the operator of the UK National Lottery. The goal is to let international ticket sales feed into the shared jackpot pool. Officials hope this pushes regular jackpots into the $500 million to $1 billion range more often.
Matt Strawn, head of the Powerball Product Group and CEO of the Iowa Lottery, said the game is "constantly looking for ways to make sure that we're keeping Powerball culturally and commercially relevant." Since 1992, Powerball has raised more than $37 billion for education and other public programs across its member states, according to MUSL.
