The latest Winning Powerball Numbers were drawn Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, with the jackpot rolling over again and pushing the next prize higher ahead of Monday night’s drawing.

Winning Powerball Numbers: Jan. 31 results
Main numbers: 2, 8, 14, 40, 63
Powerball: 23
Power Play: 3x
The drawing took place at 10:59 p.m. ET. If you hold a ticket, double-check each line carefully; many prizes come from partial matches, not just the jackpot.
What the rollover means for the next drawing
The next estimated jackpot is $65 million, with an estimated cash value of about $29.4 million (both approximate). The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2, 2026, at 10:59 p.m. ET.
A rollover happens when no ticket matches all five main numbers plus the Powerball. That doesn’t mean nobody won anything—there are multiple prize tiers, including prizes for matching just the Powerball or a set of main numbers.

If you’re checking multiple tickets, it can help to compare line-by-line against the full set of winning numbers and confirm you’re using the correct draw date.
How to check your ticket without mistakes
A few quick habits reduce errors when verifying results:
-
Match the draw date first. Results change every drawing, and mixing up dates is common.
-
Check all five main numbers, then the Powerball. Order doesn’t matter for the main numbers, but the Powerball must match exactly.
-
Look for duplicate plays on the same ticket. Many tickets contain multiple lines, and it’s easy to stop after checking only the first one.
-
Confirm any win through official validation. Posted results help you identify potential winners, but prize claims rely on official ticket validation in the state where the ticket was sold.
What to watch next
With the jackpot now at an estimated $65 million, Monday’s drawing will be the next major checkpoint. If the prize rolls again, the advertised jackpot will typically increase for the following drawing, depending on ticket sales and the game’s funding mechanics.
If you’re tracking patterns: the game is designed so that all number combinations are equally likely, and past results do not change the odds of future drawings. The most useful “next step” is simply verifying your ticket correctly and confirming the claim process and deadlines in your jurisdiction.
