The July 1, 2026 lottery winning numbers for Powerball were 2-6-26-39-68, with Powerball 6 and Power Play 2X. The drawing carried an estimated $375 million jackpot, or about $170.6 million in cash before taxes.
That gives ticket holders a fixed set of numbers to check against the Wednesday result. Powerball draws are held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and tickets cost $2.
Powerball and the $375 million jackpot
The jackpot had climbed again after Winners in Florida and Texas shared $20 million in the May 2 drawing. By Wednesday, the top prize had reached $375 million, a level tied to a one in 292.2 million chance of matching a jackpot ticket with a $2 play.
For players, the practical step is simple: compare every number on the ticket with 2-6-26-39-68 and the Powerball 6. Power Play 2X applies to non-jackpot prizes, so the multiplier matters only if a ticket matched one of those lower-tier outcomes.
Double Play after Powerball
The Double Play drawing follows the regular drawing and offers a top cash prize of $10 million. That add-on is available in 13 lottery jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania and Michigan, giving those players another way to turn the same ticket into a second set of numbers.
Powerball itself is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The schedule matters because the result changes three times a week, and the 9:45 p.m. ticket deadline leaves no room to wait until the numbers are out.
Florida and Texas
The rise to $375 million came after Winners in Florida and Texas split the $20 million prize on May 2, which kept the jackpot moving higher into Wednesday’s drawing. Did anyone win the $375 million top prize this time, or does the jackpot keep rolling forward into the next drawing? The published numbers are the immediate check point; the payoff depends on whether any ticket matched all five white balls and the Powerball 6.
