Colorado Lottery Results for Aug. 8, 2026: Powerball & More

The Colorado Lottery ran its full slate of draw games on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, and the results are in. Whether you're holding a Powerball ticket or checking your Pick 3 numbers, here's the complete rundown for the day, plus some context on the growing Powerball jackpot and practical advice for players.

Powerball and Double Play

The headline draw of the evening, Powerball, produced these numbers: 05-09-35-54-63 with a Powerball of 07 and a Power Play multiplier of 3. The same set of numbers appeared in the Montana and Arkansas results for the same date, which is expected since Powerball is a multi-state game.

For those who opted into the Powerball Double Play add-on, the second chance draw yielded 14-29-46-55-59 with a Powerball of 16. Double Play offers players an extra opportunity to win on the same ticket, and it's worth checking both sets of numbers carefully.

Colorado's Daily and Weekly Games

Beyond Powerball, the Colorado Lottery offers several other games with drawings throughout the week. Here are the results for Aug. 8:

• Pick 3 – Midday: 3-5-7; Evening: 3-3-0
• Cash 5 – 06-09-10-21-23
• Colorado Lotto+ – 01-10-17-27-30-37
• Colorado Lotto+ Plus – 02-06-11-15-24-34
• Millionaire for Life – 02-05-10-49-52 with Bonus 03

Each of these games has its own prize structure and drawing schedule. For example, Millionaire for Life offers a daily draw, while Cash 5 and Lotto+ have specific days. If you're unsure about the schedule, the Colorado Lottery's official site is the best place to confirm.

Powerball Jackpot Context

As of Aug. 7, 2026, the Powerball jackpot was $856 million, according to the Coloradoan. That figure was reported before the Aug. 8 drawing, so the actual jackpot for that draw may have been different. For the latest official jackpot amount and to see if anyone matched all six numbers, check the Powerball website or your local lottery retailer.

Tips for Players

If you played any of these games, here are a few practical steps to follow:

• Double-check your numbers – It's easy to misread a ticket, especially after a long day. Compare each number carefully against the official results.
• Check the payout schedule – Each game has its own prize tiers. For Powerball, you can find payout information and previous drawings on the official site. The same goes for Pick 3 and Millionaire for Life.
• Sign your ticket – Before you do anything else, sign the back of your ticket to establish ownership. This is crucial if you hold a winning ticket.
• Know the claim deadline – Colorado Lottery prizes must be claimed within a certain period. If you win, don't wait too long to come forward.
• Consider the lump sum vs. annuity – If you hit the jackpot, you'll have a choice between a lump sum and an annuity. Each has tax implications, so it's wise to consult a financial advisor.

Related State Lotteries

For context, the same Powerball numbers were drawn in Montana and Arkansas on Aug. 8. In Montana, the Lotto America numbers were 03-30-31-34-50 with Star Ball 03 and ASB 04. Arkansas also ran its Cash 3 and Cash 4 games, with midday and evening draws. While these are separate lotteries, they share the multi-state Powerball game, so the winning numbers are identical.

Final Thoughts

Lottery results are always a mix of hope and routine. Whether you're a regular player or just bought a ticket on a whim, the key is to check your numbers promptly and claim any prizes you're owed. The Colorado Lottery's website and authorized retailers are your best sources for official results and payout information.
