The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $65 million for the Monday night drawing on February 2, 2026, with an estimated $29.4 million cash option, after no ticket matched all six numbers in the January 31 draw.
The growing jackpot follows the year’s first Powerball win earlier in January. On January 22, a single ticket sold in North Carolina matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to secure a $209 million jackpot. The winner selected the lump-sum option of $95.3 million, taking home roughly $68.6 million after federal and state tax withholdings.
With no jackpot winner in the most recent drawing, the prize has rolled over again, keeping attention firmly on the Groundhog Day draw. Powerball drawings are held three times a week — Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays — and the jackpot continues to rise until all six numbers are matched.
Powerball remains one of the most lucrative lottery games in U.S. history. The largest jackpot on record reached $2.04 billion in November 2022 in California, with several additional billion-dollar prizes won across multiple states over the past decade.
Players do not need to be U.S. citizens or residents to participate. Anyone who meets the legal age requirement — typically 18 years old — can purchase a Powerball ticket when visiting one of the participating states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Powerball Winning Numbers – Feb 2, 2026
Each Powerball ticket costs $2. Players choose five white balls from numbers 1 to 69 and one red Powerball from 1 to 26. An optional Power Play feature costs an additional dollar and can multiply non-jackpot prizes. Players may also select a Quick Pick, allowing the system to generate random numbers.

As the February 2 drawing approaches, the $65 million jackpot adds fresh momentum to a year that has already produced one major Powerball winner — and renewed anticipation for the next set of winning numbers.
