August 17, 2026 Powerball Results: $1M Winner in Florida, Jackpot Rolls On

The jackpot survived, but the draw still produced a major winner: a $1M Match 5 ticket in Florida.

Last updated:

The draw's strongest angle is the non-jackpot winner in Florida who hit Match 5. That prize does not end the jackpot run, but it still creates a real tax-planning problem.

The winning numbers were 8, 15, 25, 49, 65 and Powerball 22, with Power Play 4x. The white balls totaled 162, with an odd/even split of 4/1 and a low/high split of 3/2.

With no grand-prize winner, the jackpot is now set to roll to $68M for Wednesday, Aug 19.

While the jackpot remains elusive, it was still a life-changing night for a player in Florida who hit Match 5 for $1M.
