Did anyone win the Powerball after Monday night's estimated $803.9 million drawing? The winning numbers were 7, 29, 64, 23, 66 and Powerball 23, but the drawing did not say whether the jackpot was hit. Players who bought tickets now have the numbers they needed to check against, after 33 consecutive drawings without a winner.
The prize had last been won on August 12, when a single ticket sold in Illinois took home a $1.04 billion grand prize. Before Monday, the current jackpot cycle had reached its 34th drawing, with every ticket contributing to the pool as the prize climbed.
The odds put the scale of the run in perspective. A prize win carries 1 in 292.2 million odds, while the chance of winning any prize is 1 in 24.9. A reader checking a ticket can compare those numbers against the posted result, including the July 25 winning numbers referenced in the same run of drawings.
Illinois And The Current Cycle
Illinois remains the last place tied to a jackpot win in this cycle, and Monday's drawing extended the stretch that began after that August 12 result. The prize pool also carried a first for this run: players in the United Kingdom had contributed from the start.
That detail matters for anyone following the jackpot because the cycle now has a clear benchmark. The drawing produced the next set of numbers, but the result still leaves the jackpot status tied to whether any ticket matched all six numbers and the Powerball.
Powerball's Biggest Jackpots
The $803.9 million prize sits below the largest U.S. lottery jackpots listed with this drawing. Powerball's top prize remains $2.040 billion on Nov. 7, 2022, followed by $1.817 billion on Dec. 24, 2025, $1.787 billion on Sept. 6, 2025, and $1.765 billion on Oct. 11, 2023.
After those four, the list continues with Mega Millions at $1.602 billion on Aug. 8, 2023, Powerball at $1.586 billion on Jan. 13, 2016, Mega Millions at $1.537 billion on Oct. 23, 2018, $1.348 billion on Jan. 13, 2023, $1.337 billion on July 29, 2022, and Powerball at $1.326 billion on April 6, 2024. For ticket holders, the immediate task is simple: match the numbers and check whether the ticket still belongs to the jackpot cycle or has moved into a smaller prize tier.
