Powerball Results: Winning Numbers Released for May 11, 2026 Drawing
Millions of lottery players across the United States checked their tickets late Monday night after the latest Powerball drawing delivered another chance at life-changing wealth. The May 11, 2026 Powerball drawing featured an estimated jackpot worth $57 million, with a cash payout option estimated at approximately $25.7 million.
The official winning numbers for the drawing were:
24 – 30 – 37 – 56 – 64
Powerball: 7
Power Play: 3X
The numbers were confirmed across multiple lottery reporting outlets and state lottery updates.
No Jackpot Winner in Monday’s Drawing
Lottery officials later confirmed that no ticket matched all five white balls plus the red Powerball, meaning the jackpot rolled over once again. As a result, the prize for the next drawing has climbed to an estimated $69 million, with a projected cash value of $31.2 million.
There were also no reported winners of the Match 5 $1 million prize or the Match 5 plus Power Play $2 million prize from Monday’s drawing.
That rollover continues a pattern that frequently fuels national excitement around the game. Powerball jackpots can grow rapidly when no top-prize ticket is sold, often drawing millions of additional players hoping to beat staggering odds.
The Numbers Behind the Hype
Powerball remains one of the most recognizable lottery games in the United States, operating in 45 states along with Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The game’s appeal is simple: enormous jackpots combined with relatively inexpensive tickets.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, while players may add optional features including:
- Power Play for an additional $1
- Double Play for another $1 in participating jurisdictions
The Power Play option multiplies non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four, five, or even ten times depending on the multiplier drawn. However, the 10X multiplier is only available when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less.
For the May 11 drawing, the multiplier was 3X.
Meanwhile, Double Play offers a second drawing using the same ticket numbers, giving players another chance at winning prizes after the main Powerball event.
The Double Play numbers drawn on May 11 were:
09 – 13 – 34 – 42 – 59
Powerball: 01
Why Powerball Continues to Captivate America
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are famously slim — approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Yet that has done little to reduce enthusiasm.
Part of the attraction lies in the tiered prize system. Even players who fail to win the jackpot can still collect significant payouts depending on how many numbers they match.
Here is how the primary prize structure works:
| Match | Prize |
|---|---|
| 5 white balls + Powerball | Jackpot |
| 5 white balls | $1 million |
| 4 white balls + Powerball | $50,000 |
| 4 white balls | $100 |
| 3 white balls + Powerball | $100 |
| 3 white balls | $7 |
| 2 white balls + Powerball | $7 |
| 1 white ball + Powerball | $4 |
| Powerball only | $4 |
Players who match five white balls and also purchased Power Play can see the $1 million prize increase to $2 million.
Drawings Continue Three Times a Week
Powerball drawings are held every:
- Monday
- Wednesday
- Saturday
The live drawings take place at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery drawing studio in Tallahassee.
The next drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2026.
Ticket purchase deadlines vary by state. In Michigan, for example, online and retail ticket sales close at 9:45 p.m. on drawing nights.
Different States, Same Lottery Fever
Lottery excitement extended beyond the national jackpot as several states released additional game results alongside Powerball.
Florida Lottery Results
Florida players also checked a full slate of draw games on May 11, including:
- Fantasy 5
- Cash Pop
- Pick 2
- Pick 3
- Pick 4
- Pick 5
Florida continues to maintain one of the most active lottery markets in the country, with tickets sold at gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores statewide.
State rules also make lottery winners public information. Florida law requires disclosure of:
- Full name
- City of residence
- Game won
- Prize amount
- Retailer location where the ticket was sold
Prizes of $599 or less may be claimed at retailers, while larger prizes require in-person claims at district offices or headquarters depending on the amount.
Michigan’s Massive Powerball Legacy
Although Monday’s drawing produced no jackpot winner, recent history shows just how transformative the game can be.
Michigan remains home to one of the largest Powerball jackpots ever won in the state. In January 2024, a ticket worth $842.4 million was sold at Food Castle in Grand Blanc.
Stories like that continue to fuel public fascination with the lottery, especially during rollover periods when jackpots begin climbing rapidly.
Buying Powerball Tickets Online
Digital lottery participation continues expanding across the United States.
Players in several states can now purchase tickets online through official lottery platforms or approved lottery courier services.
Among the jurisdictions allowing online sales are:
- Michigan
- Pennsylvania
- Virginia
- Kentucky
- North Carolina
- Washington, D.C.
- West Virginia
In some states, courier services such as Jackpocket also allow users to order tickets remotely.
Importantly, players do not need to be U.S. citizens to participate in Powerball, though they must purchase tickets within eligible jurisdictions.
Responsible Play Remains Important
While enormous jackpots generate excitement, lottery officials and gaming organizations consistently remind participants to play responsibly.
The overwhelming odds mean Powerball should be viewed as entertainment rather than a financial strategy. Still, the dream of turning a $2 ticket into millions of dollars remains powerful enough to keep Americans lining up before every drawing.
With the jackpot now climbing toward $70 million, anticipation for Wednesday night’s drawing is expected to intensify once again.
