The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $327 million for the Wednesday, June 24, 2026, drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in Monday night's drawing. The cash option for the upcoming drawing is $148 million.
Monday's winning numbers were 17, 19, 21, 45, and 48, with a Powerball of 13 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x. Although no one claimed the grand prize, there were 51,785 winning tickets sold across California, according to the California Lottery.
Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot has also grown significantly, reaching $467 million for Tuesday night's drawing, with a cash option of $211 million. The winning numbers from Friday night's Mega Millions drawing were 13, 16, 21, 26, and 50, with a Mega Ball of 12.
Powerball drawings are held three times per week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at approximately 7:59 p.m. PT.
A single Powerball ticket costs $2, with an additional $1 option for the Power Play or Double Play features. Players only need to match the Powerball number to win a $4 prize; matching two numbers without the Powerball yields no prize.
The Powerball Double Play drawing on Monday had numbers 18, 41, 43, 64, and 65, with a Powerball of 22, but no one won the $10 million jackpot. For those who win, experts advise locking the ticket in a safe place and consulting financial and legal professionals before claiming the prize.
The list of 2026 Powerball jackpot winners includes a $3.3 million win in January, an $8.8 million win in Arkansas in March, a $9.4 million win in Delaware in April, a $10.4 million win split between Indiana and Kansas in April, and a $20 million win shared by Florida and Texas in May. The all-time top Powerball jackpot remains $2.04 billion, won in November 2022.
California has seen several historic wins, including a $1.586 billion jackpot in January 2016 and a $1.08 billion win in July 2023.
