NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Powerball jackpot has surged to its biggest amount this year, reaching an estimated $643 million for Monday night's drawing. The jackpot has not been won since May 31, 2025. Since then, there have been 34 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner.

Monday night’s Powerball jackpot has climbed to $605 million, a new high for 2025, after going without a winner since the end of May.

No one hit the jackpot in the Monday, Aug. 18 drawing, so the grand prize will increase to an estimated $643 million.
