The July 1, 2026 Lottery Winning Numbers for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing were 2-6-26-39-68, with Powerball 6 and Power Play 2X. The estimated jackpot sat at $375 million, and the numbers are now the reference point for anyone checking a ticket against the draw.
That matters because the next step is simple and immediate: compare the numbers before the next drawing arrives on Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern. A $2 ticket still gives players a 1 in 292.2 million shot at the jackpot, which is why even one line can turn a routine Wednesday into a life-changing check.
The cash value before taxes would be about $170.6 million. Powerball has been building again since winners in Florida and Texas shared $20 million in the May 2 drawing, a reminder that the prize can move fast when nobody matches the full set.
There is still one detail players cannot assume from the numbers alone: whether anyone matched them this time. The jackpot was listed at $375 million after the drawing, but the result did not say if it was claimed, which leaves the prize’s next move tied to the same question every player asks after a draw ends.
Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and the Double Play add-on is sold in 13 lottery jurisdictions, including Pennsylvania and Michigan. Double Play is a separate add-on drawing held after the regular one, with its own top cash prize of $10 million, while the regular game continues on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, with tickets due by 9:45 p.m.
