Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $1 Billion After Monday Drawing Yields No Winner
The Powerball jackpot has reached $1 billion because no one matched the winning numbers drawn on Monday night. The next chance to win is on Wednesday.
Raleigh Durham, NC, August 12, 2026 —
The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $1 billion after no ticket matched the winning numbers drawn on Monday night. This marks the latest significant milestone in the ongoing lottery run.
The drawing on Monday evening failed to produce a grand prize winner, extending the streak of drawings without a jackpot match. Consequently, the prize pool continues to grow, now reaching the billion-dollar mark.
Players will have another opportunity to vie for the substantial prize during the next drawing, scheduled for Wednesday. The exact cash value of the jackpot was not provided in the summary.
Lottery officials stated that the winning numbers from Monday’s drawing were not matched by any ticket sold. Further details regarding the number of tickets sold or the specific odds for the next drawing were not included in the provided summary.
The Powerball lottery involves players selecting five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Winning the jackpot requires matching all six numbers drawn.
