No Winner for $856M Powerball Jackpot, but 5 tickets win big as grand prize crosses $900M
The winning numbers for the latest Powerball draw were 5, 9, 35, 54, and 63, along with the red Powerball number 7 and a Power Play multiplier of 3, combining to form the official winning sequence: 5-9-35-54-63 with Powerball 7 and Power Play 3.
The last Powerball jackpot was claimed on May 2, when two lucky players from Florida and Texas matched all the winning numbers and split a $20 million prize, according to Powerball.
Powerball grand prize climbs higher
With no jackpot winners once again, the Powerball grand prize has now climbed to an estimated $905 million after Saturday night’s drawing produced no match for all numbers. The massive $905 million prize will be up for grabs in the next drawing, scheduled for Monday, August 10, 2026.
The $856 million Powerball jackpot now stands as the largest prize of the year and the eighth-biggest in the game’s history, according to Powerball. While no one claimed the grand prize in Saturday’s drawing, there were still notable winners. A ticket sold in Texas matched all five white balls and, with the Power Play option, secured a $2 million prize. Four other tickets, sold in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and New York, each won $1 million by matching all five white numbers.
“We already had five Powerball jackpots won by tickets in seven states (this year) before this current jackpot run,” a spokesperson for the Multi-State Lottery Association told CNN. “As jackpots continue to rollover without a grand prize winner, player interest grows and contributes to a faster jackpot growth.”Powerball drawings are held three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. ET, giving players multiple chances to chase the jackpot. Each ticket costs $2, and the game is available in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and even the U.K.
To play, participants pick five white numbers from 1 to 69 along with one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. The odds of hitting the jackpot are steep, standing at 1 in 292 million, underscoring just how rare it is to land the life-changing prize.
