Two Tickets Split 143 Million Dollar Powerball Jackpot

Two lottery players in Indiana and Kansas matched all six numbers to split a $143 million Powerball jackpot during the drawing held on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. The winning sequence consisted of white balls 3, 19, 35, 51, and 67, with the red Powerball 15 and a 2X Power Play multiplier.

According to the Powerball website, the grand prize carried a one-time cash option of $65.2 million before taxes. While the two jackpot winners took the top prize, the drawing produced a surge of secondary winners across the United States, including 89 individuals who won at least $1 million each.

Official data shows that 62 tickets matched all five white balls to win $1 million prizes. These winning tickets were sold in various states, with Indiana and New Jersey recording the highest volume at 14 winners each, followed by Louisiana and Kansas, as reported by cincinnati.com.

An additional 27 players won $2 million each by matching five white balls and including the Power Play option on their tickets. Oregon recorded three such winners, while Indiana and Louisiana each saw five players claim the doubled prize amount, according to lottery officials.

In Oregon, the drawing took place at 7:59 p.m. local time, part of a slate of games that included Pick 4 and Win for Life. Although Oregon saw multiple $2 million winners, no one in the state or neighboring Ohio secured the top jackpot prize during this cycle, as reported by the statesmanjournal.com.

Powerball tickets remain priced at $2 per play, with the odds of hitting the jackpot standing at approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Players in participating jurisdictions, including Washington, D.C. and the Virgin Islands, can purchase entries at authorized retailers or through official state lottery websites in select regions.

The jackpot has now reset for the upcoming drawing scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026. The estimated grand prize for that event is $20 million, which carries a projected cash value of $9.1 million.
