The Powerball jackpot for Saturday, July 25, 2026, reached $600 million, or a one-time lump sum cash option of nearly $267 million before taxes — but no player matched all six numbers to win the top prize. According to Powerball online, the winning numbers were 3-4-24-36-47 and the Powerball was 17. The Power Play multiplier was 4x.

History of the Jackpot and Previous Winners

The jackpot had rolled over after no one won in the Wednesday, July 22, drawing, which had a prize of $567 million. The last time the Powerball jackpot was won was on May 2, 2026, when two tickets in Florida and Texas matched all six numbers to split a $20 million prize. Prior to that, on April 26, 2026, lottery players in Kansas and Indiana split a $143.4 million jackpot.

Univision reported that a winner in California claimed the previous major Powerball prize of $205 million on May 31, 2026. Earlier, a player in Kentucky won $168 million on April 26, and another in California won $526.5 million on March 29, 2026.

How Powerball Works and Where to Buy Tickets

Powerball drawings are held at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, including holidays. Players select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Tickets cost $2 each, and players can add the Power Play option for an additional $1, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 5x, or 10x when the jackpot is below $150 million.

According to the Bergen Record, the deadline to buy Powerball tickets varies by state. In New Jersey, tickets must be purchased by 9:59 p.m. on the day of the drawing, while in New York, the deadline is 10 p.m. A complete list of state-specific deadlines is available on the Powerball website.
