The Powerball jackpot kept climbing after Monday night’s drawing on January Fifth, 2026, reaching an estimated $88 million, with a cash option of $39.8 million. No big winner stepped forward this time, which means the prize is still up for grabs.
🎯 Winning Numbers from Monday’s Powerball Drawing
If you checked your ticket, here’s what came up:
-
White balls: 4, 18, 24, 51, 56
-
Powerball: 14
-
Power Play: 2x
Unfortunately, there were no jackpot winners, and no one matched all five numbers for the $1 million prize, even with the Power Play option.
This drawing happened just over a week after a historic moment for Powerball. A single ticket sold in Cabot, Arkansas, roughly 30 miles from Little Rock, landed the massive $1.8 billion Christmas Eve jackpot. That prize ranks as the second-largest Powerball jackpot ever—and interestingly, it still hasn’t been claimed.

🎟️ How Powerball Works
Playing Powerball is pretty simple:
-
Tickets cost $2 per play
-
Choose five white balls (1–69) and one red Powerball (1–26)
-
Add Power Play for $1 to boost non-jackpot prizes
Power Play multipliers can be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or even 10x, depending on the draw. Not feeling lucky enough to pick your own numbers? The Quick Pick option lets the computer handle it.
Powerball drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night, and if no one wins, the jackpot keeps rolling higher.
With the jackpot still alive, plenty of players will be checking tickets again soon. Sometimes, all it takes is one lucky draw. 🍀
