The Powerball jackpot is on the rise again, reaching an estimated $707 million with a cash option of $309.7 million for the drawing on Saturday, August 1, 2026, after no one matched all six numbers on July 29, 2026.
Even though the massive jackpot remains unclaimed, Mississippi players have plenty to celebrate with several big wins arriving in just one week.
Recent Mississippi Powerball Winners
- A Gulfport ticket won $50,000 in Wednesday night's Powerball Double Play drawing.
- A McComb player recently claimed a $50,000 Powerball prize.
- A Belden player scored an impressive $1 million, missing the jackpot by just one number.
These wins show that while the grand prize keeps growing, plenty of players are still taking home life-changing cash.
The current jackpot is now the largest Powerball prize of 2026. It has continued to roll over for 39 straight drawings since the last jackpot-winning ticket was sold, creating one of the biggest prizes in recent memory.
So far this year, five Powerball jackpots have been won, with lucky tickets sold in different states across the country. Now, players are waiting to see where the next big winner will come from.
Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, and tickets can be purchased at authorized Mississippi Lottery retailers throughout the state.
