The May 23 2026 Powerball results are in, and Saturday night’s drawing produced winning numbers 4, 16, 41, 48 and 66, with a Powerball of 26. The Power Play was 2x.
The drawing carried an estimated jackpot of $131 million, with a cash option of $57.5 million. Powerball drawings are held three times per week at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and tickets cost $2. Players can add the Power Play for another $1 or Double Play for an additional $1.
That schedule means the game resets quickly after each drawing, and the next chance comes within days. For players tracking a bigger prize, Tuesday night’s drawing now climbs to an estimated $311 million with a cash option of $136.4 million after no Mega Millions tickets matched all six numbers to win the jackpot.
For anyone holding a ticket, the only numbers that matter are the ones on the slip and the six drawn on Saturday night. For everyone else, the latest result is another reminder of how fast the jackpots can move when no one hits the top prize.
