No ticket matched all six numbers in Monday night's Powerball drawing, leaving the estimated $203 million jackpot to roll over for Wednesday's draw after the February 23, 2026, results were announced late Monday.

Powerball tickets rest on a 7-Eleven store register January 9, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois.

The winning numbers drawn at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee were **5-11-23-29-47**, with the red Powerball **6** and Power Play multiplier **2x**. The estimated jackpot carried a cash value of approximately $94.4 million to $94.6 million, depending on final sales figures.

Powerball officials confirmed no jackpot winners emerged from the Monday drawing, meaning the prize will climb to an estimated $218 million (cash option around $101 million) for the next drawing on Wednesday, February 25. The rollover extends a streak without a grand prize winner since the last jackpot was claimed earlier in 2026.

One ticket sold in New York matched all five white balls for the $1 million second-tier prize (without Power Play). With the 2x multiplier applied, no additional $2 million winners were reported for the Match 5 + Power Play category. Lower-tier prizes included multiple winners across the country for combinations like four white balls plus the Powerball ($50,000 base, doubled to $100,000 with Power Play) and other matches.

Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play, with the optional Power Play add-on for $1 multiplying non-jackpot prizes up to 10x (though capped at 2x or 3x when the jackpot exceeds certain thresholds; it was 2x Monday).

The February 23 drawing followed a pattern of rollovers that built the prize from lower levels earlier in the year. Powerball jackpots frequently grow into hundreds of millions or billions when no winner emerges over multiple draws, driven by widespread ticket sales fueled by media coverage and player excitement.

Monday's results drew immediate checks from players across the 45 participating jurisdictions plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Official verification occurs through state lottery offices, with winners of large prizes advised to sign tickets immediately and contact their state lottery for claiming instructions. Jackpot winners typically have 180 days to one year (depending on the state) to claim prizes, often opting for the lump-sum cash value after taxes rather than the annuity paid over 30 years.

Powerball's current format, introduced in 2015, features five white balls from a pool of 69 and one red Powerball from 26, creating odds of 1 in 292.2 million for the jackpot. Despite the long odds, the game remains one of America's most popular lotteries, with massive jackpots like the record $2.04 billion won in 2022 sparking nationwide ticket-buying frenzies.

Analysts note that while no one hit the top prize Monday, secondary winners provide significant payouts. For example, the $1 million Match 5 prize (doubled in some cases) offers life-changing money for those who matched the white balls. Overall prize distribution includes nine ways to win, starting at $4 for matching just the Powerball.

Players are reminded to check tickets carefully, as unclaimed prizes number in the millions annually across U.S. lotteries. Resources like powerball.com provide official results, prize breakdowns and tools to scan tickets via app or website.

The rollover sets up Wednesday's drawing as another chance for a massive windfall. As jackpots grow, sales typically surge, increasing the prize pool further. Powerball contributes to state programs, funding education, infrastructure and other public initiatives.

For those who played Monday, the wait continues — but the dream of instant wealth rolls on to the next draw.
