Osmond, a Connecticut resident, gave up buying lottery tickets more than a decade ago after losing around $1 million on various games, be they scratch-offs or drawings. He told MarketWatch that his addiction cost him his business (he owned two gas stations), his home and nearly any semblance of a normal life.

The jackpot for the Aug. 20 Powerball has reached an estimated $643million ($290.6 million cash option). The winning numbers in Monday's drawing are 15, 46, 61, 63, and 64, with Powerball number 1. The Power Play number is 3.

The Powerball jackpot surged to its biggest amount of the year, reaching an estimated $605 million ahead of Monday night’s drawing. The pot grew after nobody won all six numbers from Saturday night’s drawing. The white balls were 23, 40, 49, 65 and 69. The red Powerball was 23.

The Powerball jackpot for Monday night is up to $605 million, with an estimated cash value of $273.4 million, according to the Powerball website. Previously, the highest prize in 2025 was a $515 million ticket sold in California in March. It is also now the largest jackpot since a $1.326 billion payout was won by a ticket in Oregon in April 2024.
