The official Powerball draw for Saturday, August 1, 2026 took place as scheduled at 10:59 PM Eastern Time from the Multi-State Lottery Association’s draw studio in Tallahassee, Florida, with millions of ticket holders across 45 participating U.S. states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands waiting to check if they held the winning combination. The winning numbers drawn are: 12 (first white ball), 24 (second white ball), 37 (third white ball), 41 (fourth white ball), 63 (fifth white ball), with the red Powerball number 17, and the Power Play multiplier for this draw was 2X, which applies to all non-jackpot prizes for players who opted to add the $1 Power Play feature to their ticket.
Lottery officials confirmed on Sunday morning that no ticket sold for the August 1 draw matched all five white balls plus the red Powerball, meaning the grand jackpot, which was estimated at $98 million for Saturday’s draw, will roll over to the next scheduled draw on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, with an estimated annuity value of $123 million, or a one-time lump sum cash option of approximately $62.1 million before federal and state tax deductions. This jackpot rollover marks the 12th consecutive draw without a grand prize winner, following the $456 million jackpot win by a single ticket holder in Ohio on July 12, 2026.
For lower-tier prizes, official data shows that 17 ticket holders across 11 states matched all five white balls to win the $1 million second-tier prize, 3 of whom added the Power Play option, doubling their prize to $2 million each. An additional 287 ticket holders matched four white balls plus the red Powerball to win the $50,000 third-tier prize, 121 of whom qualified for the 2X Power Play multiplier, taking home $100,000 each. Thousands more players won smaller prizes ranging from $4 to $1,000 for matching fewer numbers.
Lottery officials are reminding all players to check their tickets carefully, as unclaimed prizes expire between 90 days and 1 year from the draw date depending on the jurisdiction where the ticket was purchased, with the vast majority of states giving winners 180 days to claim their prizes. Players can check their tickets at authorized Powerball retailers, on the official Powerball website, or via the official Powerball mobile app. Officials also encourage winners to sign the back of their winning tickets immediately and consult with financial and legal professionals before claiming large prizes to ensure they make informed decisions about their winnings.

Wait, I matched 4 white balls last night! That’s $500 for me, I’m so hyped even if it’s not the jackpot. Already planning to treat my family to a nice weekend trip to the coast with the prize money 😂
Ugh, I’ve been playing the same set of family birthdates as my Powerball numbers for 3 years and still haven’t hit more than $20. But I’m still holding out for the big one, especially now that the jackpot’s crossing $120 million for Wednesday’s draw. Fingers crossed everyone!
Does anyone know if the 3 $2 million winners are from the same state? I live in Illinois and heard rumors one of them is from a small town outside Chicago, would be so cool if it’s someone I know! Also, reminder to everyone to double check your tickets, I’ve heard so many stories of people losing winning tickets because they throw them out without checking carefully.
Honestly I don’t even play for the grand jackpot anymore, the $2 million second prize is more than enough for me to pay off my mortgage, my kid’s college tuition, and retire 10 years early. Congrats to the three people who hit that last night, you guys are absolutely living the dream!
