Powerball winning numbers are in. Did anyone win the $786 million jackpot?
Lottery officials said the $786 million prize is the ninth-largest in Powerball history, with a 2x Power Play multiplier and a cash option of $341.6 million.
- The Powerball jackpot's "summer surge" brought the grand prize to an estimated $786 million for Wednesday's drawing on August 5, 2026, though officials have yet to confirm if any winning tickets were sold.
- Forty consecutive drawings without a winner fueled the rollover streak, which dates back to May 2 when tickets in Texas and Florida split a $20 million jackpot, causing the prize to climb steadily.
- Winning numbers for Wednesday's drawing were 14, 20, 59, 60, and 61, with a red Powerball of 25; the Powerplay multiplier was 2x according to lottery officials.
- With a cash option of $341.6 million, lottery officials noted the grand prize ranks as the ninth-largest jackpot in Powerball history, positioning it among the game's most significant payouts.
- The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026; the game recently expanded to the United Kingdom, allowing international players to compete for the shared jackpot.
