11 August 2026 · Source balance: Centre

The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated nine hundred five million dollars after no winning tickets were sold in Monday night's drawing. This marks the eighth largest Powerball prize in the lottery's history and the largest prize of two thousand twenty six so far. The winning numbers drawn were six, thirty seven, fifty four, fifty five, sixty four, with a Powerball of ten. If a winner had claimed the prize, they could have chosen a lump sum payout of three hundred ninety one point nine million dollars before taxes, or received payments over thirty years. This massive jackpot comes after more than three months without a grand prize winner, which has allowed the prize pool to grow substantially. The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night, with the jackpot expected to exceed one billion dollars—a rare milestone that has only occurred fifteen times in U.S. lottery history.
