Winning numbers for April 20, 2026:
9, 17, 36, 47, 64
Powerball: 26
Power Play: 3x
The drawing was held Monday night as part of the regular Powerball schedule, which runs every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. The next drawing is set for Wednesday, April 22, giving players another shot at the rolling jackpot if no grand prize winner emerges from this round.
At the time of publication, jackpot winner information had not yet been fully updated. Players can verify official results and winner status through the Powerball official website, where drawing details and prize information are posted after each event.
Prize details, ticket cost and draw timing
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2 per play. Players can add Power Play for an extra $1, giving non-jackpot prizes a chance to increase by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x, depending on the multiplier selected before the drawing. The 10x multiplier is only available when the advertised annuity jackpot is $150 million or less, which applied to this drawing level.
For Michigan players, tickets can be purchased in-store or online until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw. That cutoff matters because Powerball sales do not stay open right up to draw time in every state, and local rules can vary.
The game’s prize structure remains one of the biggest reasons it continues to attract nationwide attention. Matching all five white balls plus the Powerball wins the jackpot, while matching five white balls without the Powerball wins $1 million. Lower-tier prizes range from $4 up to $50,000 before Power Play adjustments.
With Power Play added, some prize levels can rise significantly. A Match 5 prize increases to $2 million, while a Match 4 plus Powerball win can jump to $200,000. Even smaller wins such as matching only the Powerball can be multiplied, depending on the draw’s selected multiplier.
Powerball odds and extra draw options
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot remain steep at 1 in 292.2 million, though the game’s large advertised prizes continue to keep ticket demand elevated whenever jackpots begin to climb. That long-shot appeal is part of what keeps each drawing in the national spotlight, even at a comparatively modest jackpot level like $87 million.
Players in some states can also add the Double Play option for an additional $1 per play. That feature enters the same numbers into a second drawing held shortly after the main one, offering a separate chance to win prizes of up to $10 million. The Double Play drawing usually takes place between 11:30 p.m. and 11:40 p.m., and the Power Play multiplier does not apply to those prizes.
Powerball remains one of the most watched lottery games in the country, and Monday’s numbers will now be checked against tickets nationwide as players wait to see whether the jackpot was hit or whether the prize pool rolls over again for Wednesday night’s drawing.
