Powerball Jackpot Rolls to $748 Million After No Winner on August 1

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $748 million for the Monday, August 3, 2026 drawing after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Saturday, August 1, 2026 draw. That makes it the largest Powerball prize offered so far in 2026. The advertised figure is the annuity jackpot, paid over three decades; the one-time cash option is smaller, estimated at about $325.1 million before taxes. The August 1 drawing had been advertised at an estimated $707 million before rolling over.

In the Saturday, August 1, 2026 drawing the winning numbers were 6, 17, 27, 48 and 50 with a red Powerball of 5 and a 3x Power Play. No ticket matched all six numbers, so the top prize rolled over again. Two tickets in Virginia matched five white balls plus Power Play for $2 million, and tickets in California, Maryland and Texas won $1 million. The next drawing is set for Monday, August 3, 2026 at 10:59 p.m. ET, with the estimated jackpot rising to $748 million and a cash value of about $325.1 million.

At an estimated $748 million, this is the largest Powerball jackpot offered so far in 2026, continuing a rollover streak that has run since early May with no grand-prize winner. It remains far short of Powerball's all-time record of $2.04 billion, set in 2022. The odds of matching all five white balls plus the red Powerball to win the jackpot are roughly 1 in 292.2 million. A jackpot keeps growing with each drawing until a single ticket finally claims the top tier.

Powerball draws are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players pick five main numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball from 1 to 26. You do not need to live in the United States to take part - a licensed lottery courier can buy an official ticket on your behalf for the same draw and jackpot. Always confirm the current jackpot and draw time with the official operator before playing.
