No ticket matched all six numbers in the Monday, October 26, 2026 Powerball drawing, rolling the jackpot to an estimated $716 million - about $307.2 million cash - for the Wednesday, October 28 draw.
The jackpot right now
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $716 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Monday, October 26, 2026 drawing. The advertised figure is the annuity jackpot, paid over 30 years; the one-time cash option is smaller, listed by the official operator at $307.2 million before taxes.
The no-winner draw
The winning numbers on October 26 were 18, 26, 49, 50 and 54 with Powerball 1, and the Power Play multiplier was 3x. Nobody won the jackpot. Two tickets, one sold in Florida and one in Georgia, matched all five white balls to win $1 million each, while no ticket won the $2 million Power Play prize for five matches. The next drawing is Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 10:59 p.m. ET.
How it compares
At an estimated $716 million this is among the larger prizes offered in 2026, though it is well short of the game's record jackpot of $2.04 billion from November 2022. The jackpot keeps growing with each drawing until a ticket matches all six numbers.
