The Powerball jackpot rolled over Saturday night after the August 8 drawing produced no grand‑prize winner. Lottery officials reported that no ticket matched all six numbers, extending the jackpot into the next drawing as interest remains high across the Carolinas.
The winning numbers for the August 8 drawing were 5, 9, 35, 54, 63, and Powerball 7 with a 3x Power Play. While lower‑tier prizes were awarded nationally, the jackpot remained untouched. With no winner, the estimated jackpot has now increased to approximately $905 million, with a cash value of $391.9 million ahead of the next drawing scheduled for Monday, August 10 at 10:59 p.m.
Powerball participation remains strong in both North Carolina and South Carolina. Residents and visitors can purchase tickets at authorized retailers throughout Brunswick County, Columbus County, and Horry County.
North Carolina additionally offers an online purchase option through the NC Education Lottery website and mobile app, allowing players to buy tickets digitally. The system verifies location before processing any online purchase, and digital tickets are stored within the player’s account.
South Carolina does not permit online lottery sales. All Powerball tickets must be purchased in person at participating retailers, including convenience stores, grocery stores, and fuel stations. Residency is not required in either state, and players may buy tickets as long as the transaction occurs within a participating jurisdiction.
Powerball tickets cost two bucks per play, with the optional Power Play feature available for an additional dollar. Both states observe a cutoff time of approximately 9:59 p.m. on draw nights. Players are encouraged to check their tickets promptly and follow state‑specific claim procedures as the jackpot continues to rise.
Lottery officials remind participants to play responsibly as the multi‑state jackpot moves into the next drawing.
