The Powerball jackpot continues to grow after another drawing ended without a grand prize winner. Although no ticket matched all six winning numbers, six players across the United States became millionaires by matching all five white balls in the latest drawing.
With the jackpot rolling over once again, the estimated top prize has now increased to $748 million, giving players another opportunity to compete for one of the largest lottery jackpots of the year.
Drawing
The latest Powerball drawing produced the following winning numbers:
| Winning Numbers | Powerball | Power Play |
|---|---|---|
| 6, 17, 27, 48, 50 | 5 | 3x |
The jackpot for the drawing was estimated at $719 million, with a cash option of $312.4 million.
No ticket matched all five white balls plus the Powerball, meaning the jackpot rolled over to the next drawing.
Winners
While the jackpot remained unclaimed, six tickets matched all five white numbers.
The winning Match 5 tickets included:
| State | Prize |
|---|---|
| Maryland | $1 million |
| Texas | $1 million |
| California | Three Match 5 winners (Prize amount determined under California lottery rules) |
| Virginia | $2 million with Power Play |
The Virginia winner doubled the standard Match 5 prize by purchasing the optional Power Play feature.
Additional Prizes
Thousands of other players also won prizes during the drawing.
Among the largest non-jackpot winners:
- 36 players won $50,000 after matching four white balls and the Powerball.
- Seven players won $150,000 after matching the same numbers with the 3x Power Play multiplier.
Powerball offers prizes across multiple prize tiers, allowing players to win even without matching all six numbers.
Jackpot
Following the drawing, the Powerball jackpot increased to an estimated $748 million.
The next drawing gives players the option of choosing between:
| Prize Option | Estimated Amount |
|---|---|
| Annuity | $748 million |
| Cash Option | $325.1 million |
The final value may change depending on ticket sales before the drawing.
Recent Results
Powerball has produced several jackpot winners during 2026.
According to lottery officials:
- The Powerball jackpot has been won five times this year.
- Mega Millions recently recorded its third jackpot winner of 2026.
With no jackpot winner in the latest drawing, anticipation continues to build as the Powerball prize approaches three-quarters of a billion dollars.
Odds
Although large jackpots often generate increased ticket sales, the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain the same regardless of the prize amount.
Players must match all five white balls and the red Powerball to claim the grand prize.
For many participants, however, the possibility of winning even one of the game’s secondary prizes remains an added incentive.
As the jackpot continues to grow, the next Powerball drawing will once again give players the chance to compete for one of the year’s biggest lottery prizes. Whether the jackpot is finally won or rolls over again, the latest results show that significant prizes continue to be awarded even when the top prize remains out of reach.
