Was the jackpot won?
No ticket matched all six numbers, so the $794 million jackpot rolls over. The next drawing is Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, at 10:59 p.m. ET, with an estimated jackpot of $856 million (cash option $372 million).
That makes 42 drawings in a row without a jackpot winner since the reset on May 2, 2026. If it’s won, $856 million would be the 8th-largest jackpot in Powerball history.
One ticket won $1 million (Ohio).
