CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Powerball jackpot is now the largest it’s been this year, reaching $605 million for the drawing on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025. The largest jackpot this year was a $526.5 million prize won March 29 in California. The Saturday, Aug. 16 numbers are 23-40-49-65-69 Powerball 23 Power Play 3x.

LORAIN, Ohio (WJW) — A very lucky person in northeast Ohio could be holding a Powerball ticket worth $100,000. This is Ohio’s second $100,000 Powerball win in less than a week! In addition, Monday’s Powerball drawing turned out two $50,000 wins, also sold in the Buckeye State.

While there is no shortage of partial Powerball prizes sold in Ohio, like the $1 million ticket sold Aug. 6 at a Seville Circle K, records show that only a handful of winning tickets for full jackpots have been sold here. This includes a hefty cash prize sold in 2024 that remains unclaimed.

However, one Ohio golfer has come out WAY ahead after a recent golf trip to Michigan where he purchased a winning Powerball lottery ticket worth $150,000.
