|---|---|
| Current Jackpot | $480 Million |
| Cash Value | $213.2 Million |

When is the next Powerball drawing?
The July 13, 2026 drawing is scheduled for Monday night at the standard time: 10:59 p.m. ET. That is the same hour the game has followed for years. The drawing occurs live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee (Powerball (official game operator)).
What time does the Powerball drawing start?
- Eastern: 10:59 p.m. ET (Powerball)
- Pacific: 7:59 p.m. PT (California uses local time; California State Lottery)
- Ticket sales stop at 10:00 p.m. ET on draw nights in most states, but California cuts off at 7:00 p.m. local (California State Lottery)
How often are Powerball drawings held?
Three times per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday – every week of the year. The schedule never skips holidays (Powerball).
If you buy a ticket after the cutoff in your state, it rolls to the next draw. In California, tickets purchased after 7:05 p.m. local shift to the following drawing – a rule that catches many occasional players (California State Lottery).
The implication: If you miss the 7 p.m. cutoff in California, you aren’t playing for Monday’s jackpot – you’re already in the Wednesday pool. For east-coast players, the 10 p.m. ET cutoff is a more generous window.
What are the latest Powerball winning numbers?
The most recent complete draw is July 11, 2026, where the numbers were 8-10-14-45-59 and the Powerball 5 (Power Play 2x). That draw produced no jackpot winner (Powerball). For the July 13, 2026 draw (which occurred after this article was compiled), the Delaware Lottery and California Lottery both confirm the numbers: 5-25-36-40-48; Powerball 3; Power Play 2x (Delaware Lottery; California State Lottery). No jackpot winner on July 13 either, meaning the prize rolls into Wednesday.

- State lottery websites: Delaware, North Dakota, California, Virginia, Colorado all publish draw-specific pages (North Dakota Lottery; Delaware Lottery)
What do Powerball numbers mean?
Five white balls are drawn from a pool of 69 (numbers 1-69), and one red Powerball from a separate pool of 26 (1-26). Matching five white balls plus the red Powerball wins the jackpot (Powerball).
“Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 pm ET at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.”
– Powerball official site (Powerball)
The trade-off: With 292.2 million-to-one odds, a jackpot win is rare – but the rollover effect is what drives headlines and ticket sales.
The July 13 draw produced no jackpot winner, continuing a rollover streak that has pushed the jackpot to $480 million. Players should check state cutoff times to avoid missing the next draw.
How much is the Powerball jackpot right now?
As of the July 13 drawing, the estimated jackpot stands at $480 million, with a cash value of $213.2 million (Powerball (official game operator)). The prize has grown steadily throughout July 2026, climbing from $375 million on July 1 (Colorado Lottery).
What is the cash value of the Powerball jackpot?
The cash option is a one-time lump sum, currently $213.2 million. Most winners choose the cash over the 30-year annuity (Virginia Lottery).
How does the Powerball jackpot grow?
If no winning ticket matches all six numbers, the entire jackpot pool rolls over to the next drawing. The increase is fueled by ticket sales for that draw. Between July 1 and July 11, the jackpot rose from $375M to $464M – an increase of $89 million across five draws (Colorado Lottery; Powerball).
The 28-draw rollover streak (through July 11) is exactly the kind of sequence that produces a $1 billion-plus jackpot if it continues – players who wait might miss the current “low” $480 million entry point (AS).
What this means: Each draw without a winner adds roughly $30 million to the top prize. If Wednesday’s draw also passes, the Friday jackpot could approach $550 million.
How do I check my Powerball numbers?
The fastest and most reliable way is to use the official Powerball.com results page. You enter your draw date and see the winning numbers instantly. For state-specific information, your lottery’s website or app will also list results and prize tiers (California State Lottery; North Dakota Lottery).
Can I check Powerball numbers online?
Yes. All official state lottery sites publish draw results within minutes. You can also use third-party aggregators like Lottery USA (Lottery USA), but the official .gov or .com sites are the definitive source.
What is Power Play and how does it affect winnings?
Power Play is an optional add-on for an extra $1 that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. The multiplier is drawn each night. For the July 13 draw, the multiplier was 2x (Delaware Lottery).
“The winning numbers for Monday night’s drawing were 17, 44, 63, 66, 67, with a Powerball of 4.”
– The Indianapolis Star (news outlet, reporting July 6 draw; The Indianapolis Star)
The catch: Power Play applies only to lower-tier prizes. The jackpot and Match 5 prize are not multiplied. For a $2 million Match 5 + Power Play win, the multiplier is capped at 2x for that prize level.
How do I play Powerball?
Playing Powerball is straightforward: pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Each standard play costs $2 (Powerball).
Where to buy Powerball tickets?
Tickets are available at authorized retailers in 45 states, plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. You can also join an office pool or use a lottery courier service in some states, but direct online sales are limited to a few jurisdictions (Powerball).
What are the odds of winning Powerball?
- Jackpot (5+1): 1 in 292,201,338 (Powerball)
- Match 5 (no Powerball): 1 in 11,688,053
- Match 4+1: 1 in 913,129
- Match 4: 1 in 36,525
- Match 3+1: 1 in 14,494
- Overall chance of any prize: 1 in 24.9
The trade-off: The odds are astronomical for the jackpot, but the $1 Power Play add-on gives lower-tier wins a meaningful multiplier without changing the odds of winning.
Step-by-Step Guide to Playing Powerball
Here is a clear sequence for first-time players. Each step is backed by official rules.
- Find a retailer. Look for a Powerball sign at gas stations, convenience stores, or lottery kiosks in your state. List of participating states: 45 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, USVI (Powerball).
- Fill out a playslip (or ask the clerk for a Quick Pick). Choose 5 numbers from 1-69 and 1 Powerball number from 1-26. Or let the terminal pick random numbers.
- Add Power Play (optional) for $1 extra. This multiplies any non-jackpot win by the drawn multiplier (Delaware Lottery).
- Pay $2 per play ($3 with Power Play). Cash, debit, or sometimes credit – check with the retailer.
- Keep your ticket safe. Sign the back immediately. The ticket is the only proof of purchase.
- Check the draw. Watch live on the Powerball website at 10:59 p.m. ET on draw nights, or check online after (Powerball).
- Claim your prize. Small prizes (under $600) at any retailer. Larger prizes require a visit to a lottery office. Jackpot winners must claim in person at the lottery headquarters in the state where the ticket was purchased (Powerball).
For a casual player, a $2 Quick Pick with Power Play is the easiest entry. For a serious pool, buying multiple lines increases odds marginally but at scale – a group with 1,000 tickets still faces a 1 in 292,000 chance to win.
Powerball Jackpot Timeline: July 2026
Every draw in July 2026 through the 13th ended without a jackpot winner. The progression tells the story of a classic rollover.
| Draw Date | White Balls | Powerball | Power Play | Jackpot (Est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 1, 2026 | 2, 6, 26, 39, 68 | 6 | 2x | $375M |
| Jul 4, 2026 | 17, 38, 46, 50, 69 | 20 | 2x | $396M |
| Jul 6, 2026 | 17, 44, 63, 66, 67 | 4 | 2x | $416M |
| Jul 8, 2026 | 12, 29, 37, 43, 55 | 18 | 4x | $434M |
| Jul 11, 2026 | 8, 10, 14, 45, 59 | 5 | 2x | $464M |
| Jul 13, 2026 | 5, 25, 36, 40, 48 | 3 | 2x | $480M |
Sources: July 1-11 draws from Delaware Lottery, North Dakota Lottery, and Colorado Lottery. July 13 draw from California Lottery. Jackpot estimates from Powerball.
The pattern: Every draw adds roughly $20-30 million to the annuitized jackpot. The cash value has increased from $168M (Jul 1) to $213M (Jul 13). If the streak continues, a $600M+ jackpot is plausible by the end of July.
