North Carolina Powerball climbed to an estimated $905 million for Monday's drawing after no ticket matched all the winning numbers on Saturday. The cash value is estimated at $391.1 million, putting the prize among the largest in the game's history ahead of the next drawing.
Saturday's numbers were 63, 9, 54, 5, 35 and Powerball 7. Four tickets matched all five white balls and won $1 million each, including one sold in New York.
May 2, 2026 jackpot
The jackpot was last won on May 2, 2026, when two tickets in Florida and Texas split a $20 million prize. Since then, the top prize has rolled forward through Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, with no jackpot winner on Saturday.
Powerball is played in 45 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Players pick five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26, and the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
Christmas Eve 2025
The current run sits below the largest Powerball jackpot since the sequence began, a $1.817 billion prize won in Arkansas on Christmas Eve 2025. That comparison shows why the current total has drawn attention even before Monday's drawing arrives.
For ticket holders, the immediate result is simple: one ticket in New York joined three others at the $1 million level, while the jackpot kept climbing. The next drawing gives players another chance at the estimated $905 million prize, with the cash option still at $391.1 million.
