Powerball Results for April 15, 2026: No Jackpot Winner, Prize Climbs to $75 Million

Written by Published

🎉 Powerball Update for April Fifteenth, Twenty Twenty-Six

The latest Powerball drawing is in—and while the jackpot was a solid $58 million, nobody hit the big one this time.

Here are the winning numbers from Wednesday night:

  • 13, 21, 27, 43, 45
  • Powerball: 26
  • Power Play: 5x

👉 Close, but not quite: No ticket matched all six numbers. However, one lucky ticket in Colorado matched five numbers and scored a $1 million prize.


💰 What’s Next for the Jackpot?

Since there was no jackpot winner, the prize is rolling over.

  • Next drawing (Saturday, April Eighteenth, Twenty Twenty-Six):
    • Jackpot: $75 million
    • Cash option: $34.1 million

🔁 Double Play Results

The Double Play drawing also didn’t produce a jackpot winner.

  • Numbers: 8, 11, 41, 44, 53
  • Powerball: 3
  • No $10 million winner
  • No $500,000 winners either

🎯 Quick Powerball Basics (Worth Knowing!)

If you’re playing or thinking about it, here are a few key points:

  • ✔️ You can win just by matching the Powerball (that’s a $4 prize)
  • ✔️ Matching two numbers alone doesn’t win—unless one is the Powerball
  • ✔️ Ticket price:
    • $2 per play
    • +$1 for Power Play (boosts non-jackpot prizes)
    • +$1 for Double Play (extra shot at $10 million)

⏰ When Are Drawings Held?

Powerball drawings happen three times a week:

  • Monday
  • Wednesday
  • Saturday
  • Around 10:59 p.m. ET
