The Powerball lottery results are in for Saturday, January 24, 2026. The winning numbers were 2, 16, 35, 61, 63, and the Powerball was 5. Unfortunately, there were no winners for the estimated $20 million jackpot, and no tickets matched all five white balls for the $1 million prize.
As a result, the jackpot for the next drawing, scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026, has increased to approximately $30 million. Lottery enthusiasts are reminded that Powerball drawings occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at around 10:59 p.m. ET.
In addition to the main drawing, the Powerball Double Play numbers for January 24 were 8, 17, 29, 30, 62, with a Powerball of 11; however, no tickets matched the entire set either, leaving another $500,000 prize unclaimed.
For those participating in the upcoming drawing, a single Powerball ticket costs $2, with options to enhance gameplay. Players can add a Power Play for an extra $1, allowing for the multiplication of winnings, though this excludes the jackpot. Adding a Double Play also costs an additional $1, providing a second chance to win.
In comparison to the Mega Millions, which recently saw a jackpot grow to an estimated $285 million for its next drawing, the excitement around Powerball continues to build. This competitive atmosphere serves as a reminder of the potential prizes available and the thrill that playing the lottery can bring.
