$544 Million Jackpot Up For Grabs in Tonight’s Powerball Drawing

Powerball logo There is a huge pile of cash up for grabs in the Powerball jackpot giving players a shot at $544 million tonight! The cash option for the jackpot is $241.6 million.

If a player wins tonight’s jackpot, it would be the sixth time the jackpot has been won in 2026, and it would also mark the largest Powerball jackpot won this year. Tonight’s drawing will be the 34th drawing since the jackpot was last won May 2 when two tickets purchased in Florida and Texas split a $20 million jackpot.

Since the Powerball jackpot run began May 4, Michigan Lottery players have won more than $2.3 million in prizes.

The Powerball jackpot was last won in Michigan on Jan. 1, 2024, by a Mid-Michigan lottery club. The club won a $842.4 million Powerball jackpot with a ticket purchased in Grand Blanc. That jackpot is the largest Powerball prize ever won in Michigan.

Retailers throughout the state are selling Powerball tickets until 9:58 p.m. tonight. Tickets also may be purchased online at MichiganLottery.com.

Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at MichiganLottery.com. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://www.powerball.com. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
