🎉 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.

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

- 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
