No Powerball jackpot winner as $663 million rolls to next draw

ORLANDO, FL — Jul 27, 2026

No player matched all six numbers in Monday's Powerball drawing, sending the jackpot forward without a winner and setting the stage for a larger grand prize at the next draw. The winning numbers were 6, 26, 46, 58, and 65, with a Powerball of 25 and a 2x Power Play multiplier.

The $663 million advertised jackpot rolled over Monday night, continuing a streak of rollovers that has now extended to 17 consecutive drawings without a grand-prize winner. While no one hit the jackpot, secondary prizes were claimed across multiple tiers, including 14 players who matched five white balls but missed the Powerball, each winning $50,000. The cash value of the jackpot was $279.3 million.

Winning numbers and prize breakdown

The complete set of winning numbers — 6, 26, 46, 58, 65, Powerball 25 — produced winners across nine prize tiers, though none at the top. Here's the full picture:

Match	Prize	Winners
5 + Power Ball	$2,000,000	0
5 + Powerball	$1,000,000	0
5 (w/ Power Play)	$2,000,000	0
5	$1,000,000	0
4 + Powerball (w/ Power Play)	$100,000	3
4 + Powerball	$50,000	14
4 (w/ Power Play)	$200	217
4	$100	361

The 14 Match-5 winners at the $50,000 level were the highest-tier claimants. Mid-tier play — matching three or four balls — generated the largest winner count, with over 144,000 tickets claiming $4 prizes and more than 355,000 claiming $7 payouts across both Power Play and standard play.

A 17-draw rollover streak in context

The Monday draw marked the 17th consecutive rollover in the current streak, a significant but not historic stretch. For perspective, Powerball's longest rollover streak in the multi-state game's history stands at 39 consecutive draws, which occurred in late 2022 before a $1.586 billion jackpot was claimed in January 2023. The current run is substantial enough to merit attention from regular players, but well short of the outlier events that define the game.

The odds of no jackpot winner on any single drawing are high — approximately 96.6 percent. Over 17 consecutive draws, the mathematical likelihood of hitting this streak is roughly 24 percent, meaning a rollover of this length occurs naturally every four to five draws on average. Still, the visible accumulation draws player attention and ticket sales.

Powerball officials have noted in past statements that the mathematical rarity of matching all six numbers — odds of 1 in 292,201,338 — means that long rollover streaks are not anomalies but the expected pattern. "Players should understand that the jackpot grows because matching all six numbers is extraordinarily difficult," a Powerball statement from the Multi-State Lottery Association's guidance literature emphasizes. The current streak reflects this baseline reality.

What the numbers reveal

The five white balls in Monday's draw — 6, 26, 46, 58, 65 — spanned the full range of the 69-number field, with no clustering in either the low (1-23) or mid (24-46) ranges. The Powerball of 25, drawn from a separate pool of 26, was above the midpoint. Neither the white-ball set nor the Powerball showed any obvious sequence or pattern.

Historically, Powerball draws have not favored certain numbers over others at the jackpot tier, despite decades of player theories about "hot" and "cold" numbers. Over time, each number in the 1-69 field is drawn with roughly equal frequency. The distribution of winners across the secondary tiers — with the $4 and $7 prizes attracting the bulk of claimants — is typical for draws with no jackpot winner, since losing tickets are concentrated among players who came close.

The setup for the next draw

Powerball draws on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. The next scheduled drawing is Wednesday, July 29, 2026, with an expected jackpot of approximately $725 million (or higher if ticket sales spike in reaction to Monday's rollover). The cash-value option will be roughly 50 percent of the advertised amount, depending on interest-rate conditions and the exact timing of annuity calculations.

Ticket sales typically surge when the advertised jackpot crosses visible thresholds — $500 million, $750 million, $1 billion. At $725 million, Wednesday's draw could see elevated volume, which in turn increases the likelihood of another rollover if no jackpot is hit. Players should spend only what they can afford to lose; buying an extra $10 in tickets when the odds remain 1 in 292 million is not a sound financial move, no matter how large the prize grows.

The 17-draw streak is notable enough that some media outlets may highlight the "growing jackpot" angle going into Wednesday. For players accustomed to smaller prizes, the escalating advertised amount can feel like an opportunity. Statistically, however, a $725 million jackpot carries no better odds than a $20 million one for the ticket holder — the difference is entirely in expected value if won, not in the likelihood of winning.

Who played and where

The geographic distribution of winners across the secondary tiers reflected normal play patterns. All 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, contribute tickets to the multi-state pool. Monday's draw included winners across the country, though the exact state-by-state breakdown of Match-5 claimants was not immediately published by all jurisdictions.

The 2x Power Play multiplier attached to this draw — a random bonus applied before each drawing — doubled the non-jackpot prizes for players who selected that option. This feature costs an extra $1 per ticket and is purely optional. For players holding a winning ticket with Power Play active, the multiplier could turn a $50,000 prize into $100,000, or a $4 prize into $8. Over the long term, Power Play is a negative-value bet, since the $1 extra cost exceeds the expected increase in payouts. Still, it remains a popular feature, particularly as jackpots climb.

The math behind the streak

A 17-draw rollover is unremarkable in a game with 1-in-292-million odds per ticket. Powerball sells roughly 100 million to 150 million tickets per drawing in a typical week, sometimes higher when jackpots climb. Even at 150 million tickets sold, the probability of at least one jackpot winner on a given draw is somewhere between 30 and 40 percent. Conversely, the probability of no winner — and a rollover — is 60 to 70 percent.

Seventeen consecutive rollovers mean 17 consecutive failures to hit those odds, which is rare but not unheard of. In fact, longer streaks are statistically inevitable over the game's history. The current sequence will end when one ticket matches all six numbers. Based on historical patterns, that could happen Wednesday or it could take another month. The streak itself reveals nothing about future draws — each drawing is independent, and the next draw's odds remain exactly 1 in 292,201,338.
