The Powerball winning numbers are in for Wednesday, January 28, 2026, with lottery players across the United States checking tickets after another midweek draw with a multimillion-dollar prize on the line. The $43 million jackpot was up for grabs, but once again, no ticket matched all six numbers.
The winning numbers drawn were 21, 35, 40, 46, and 68, with a Powerball of 11. The Power Play for the night was set at 10x, offering the potential for significantly boosted non-jackpot prizes.
According to early official results, there were no jackpot winners in Wednesday night’s drawing. There were also no Match 5 winners, either with or without the Power Play, meaning the top prize continues to roll over.
With no grand prize claimed, the Powerball jackpot will continue to climb ahead of the next drawing. Wednesday’s estimated $43 million jackpot carried a cash value of approximately $19.4 million, but no ticket met the required combination to trigger a payout at that level.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — with numbers drawn at approximately 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Players are encouraged to hold onto their tickets until final prize validations are confirmed by lottery officials.
While the jackpot went unclaimed, many smaller prizes are still awarded each draw. In Powerball, matching just the Powerball alone wins a $4 prize, while higher payouts are available for matching combinations of white balls and the Powerball. Full prize breakdowns are published on the official Powerball website.
In addition to the main Powerball draw, several other lottery results were also confirmed on Wednesday night. The Powerball Double Play numbers came in as 03, 27, 34, 42, and 47, with a Double Play Powerball of 03. Pick 3 players were looking at a winning combination of 0, 2, and 3, while the Pick 5 numbers drawn were 06, 19, 20, 26, and 36.
Elsewhere, the 2 By 2 draw produced red balls 11 and 13 alongside white balls 06 and 12. Lucky For Life numbers for the night were 19, 24, 26, 27, and 47, with a Lucky Ball of 14. The MyDay draw rounded out the evening with a winning date combination of June 13, 1986. Players are advised to check official payout charts and validate tickets through authorised lottery retailers.
Attention now turns to the next Powerball drawing, as players look ahead to a growing jackpot and another chance at one of the largest lottery prizes in the United States. Ticket sales remain open until shortly before the next scheduled draw.
Separately, Mega Millions continues its own surge, with Friday night’s drawing now offering an estimated $303 million jackpot after no winners in the most recent draw.
