Powerball Results for Today: No Jackpot Winner as Prize Climbs Again
Millions of lottery players checked their tickets Monday night after the latest Powerball drawing delivered another chance at a life-changing fortune. While no one claimed the massive jackpot in the May 25, 2026 drawing, the numbers are now fueling anticipation for the next round as the prize continues to grow.
The winning numbers for Monday night’s Powerball drawing were:
17, 32, 48, 60, 64 — Powerball: 10
Power Play: 2X
The jackpot had climbed to an estimated $142 million, with a cash option of approximately $62.6 million. Despite nationwide excitement, lottery officials confirmed that no ticket matched all six numbers required to secure the grand prize.
Another Rollover Sends Excitement Higher
The absence of a jackpot winner means the Powerball prize pool will continue increasing ahead of the next drawing scheduled for Wednesday night.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, with the live draws broadcast from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.
Lottery enthusiasts often see rollover streaks as the moment when public interest intensifies. Historically, larger jackpots tend to trigger spikes in ticket sales across participating states, especially as prize amounts move into the hundreds of millions.
The last Powerball jackpot win occurred at the end of April, when a ticket claimed a prize worth $143 million.
How Powerball Works
Powerball remains one of the world’s most recognizable lottery games because of its enormous jackpots and straightforward format.
To play, participants purchase a ticket for $2 and select:
- Five white ball numbers from 1 to 69
- One red Powerball number from 1 to 26
Players can also add the optional Power Play feature for an additional $1, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
For those who prefer randomness, the “Quick Pick” option allows the system to generate numbers automatically.

Lottery officials announced in April that the internationally recognized game will launch U.K.-related drawings “later this summer,” potentially increasing participation and generating even larger jackpot pools over time.
Industry analysts believe the move could further elevate Powerball’s global profile and boost already enormous prize values.

The growing popularity of lottery games worldwide reflects the enduring appeal of large jackpots and the dream of instant wealth.
What Happens Next?
With no jackpot winner on Monday night, attention now turns to Wednesday’s drawing, where the prize is expected to increase again.
Historically, rollover streaks tend to accelerate public participation, especially once jackpots cross major milestones. If no one wins again, the prize could soon approach levels that generate nationwide ticket-buying frenzies.
For now, players across the country are once again checking numbers, planning their next picks, and hoping the next draw delivers the winning combination.
