Draw record / how to read it

How to read the Powerball numbers for August 23, 2008

The record separates the winning line, game rules, advertised jackpot, derived metrics, and related historical navigation. Reading those fields together prevents a number set from being detached from the date and rules that define it.

01 / Winning line

Keep white balls and the red Powerball separate

The five white balls are shown first in recorded draw order. The red Powerball follows as a separate value from a separate number pool. The sorted white-ball line is included only to make manual ticket comparison easier.

02 / Rules on this date

This drawing used the 5/55 + 1/42 matrix

White balls for this record came from 1 through 55, while the red Powerball came from 1 through 42. Historical comparisons should respect the matrix attached to each date rather than applying today’s ranges to every older result.

03 / Jackpot and Power Play

Read recorded fields without inferring a claim

The advertised jackpot for this drawing was $52 million. The recorded Power Play value is ×3. An advertised amount identifies the drawing; it does not by itself prove that a jackpot ticket was sold.

04 / Verification

Use the archive for lookup and the lottery for claims

This page provides an independent historical lookup. Ticket validity, prize tiers, deadlines, and eligibility must be confirmed with the lottery in the jurisdiction where the ticket was purchased. If records differ, the official result controls.

05 / Archive position

Use neighboring drawings to confirm the chronology

The previous and next links follow completed drawing order rather than ordinary calendar days. They make it possible to check whether a result belongs before or after a rollover, compare changes in the advertised jackpot, and move through the archive without starting another search. The year link moves one level up to the complete annual ledger, while the calendar link groups this month and day across different years. These connections are navigational evidence, not a claim that adjacent drawings influence one another. Comparing consecutive records can reveal changes in displayed fields or jackpot amounts, but every drawing remains an independent event.
