The Powerball jackpot has surged to an estimated $663 million after no ticket matched all six winning numbers drawn on Monday night, July 27, 2026.
This rollover marks the second-largest lottery prize offered so far this year.

Winning Numbers and Payout Options
The winning numbers drawn were 6, 26, 46, 58, 65, and Red Powerball 25.
If a single ticket matches all numbers in the upcoming drawing, the winner can choose between 30 annual installments or a lump-sum cash payout of $290.4 million before mandatory withholdings.
Choosing the immediate cash lump sum triggers a mandatory 24% federal tax withholding, reducing the initial payout to $220.7 million.
Depending on overall income, the top federal marginal tax rate of 37% would lower the final lump-sum total further to approximately $182.9 million.
Alternatively, the annuity option yields annual installments of $22.1 million, which decrease to roughly $13.92 million annually after applying the maximum federal rate.

State Tax Variations and International Participation
State tax liabilities vary significantly based on location.
Jurisdictions such as New York levy taxes up to 10.9% on lottery prizes, whereas states including Texas, Florida, and California impose no state income tax on lottery winnings.
Recent expansion rules have allowed players in the United Kingdom to participate.
British players are limited to the annuity option, which advertises an estimated 30-year payout totaling £352 million, equivalent to roughly $467.8 million after currency conversion and local tax laws.
Surpassing the $650 million mark has occurred only twice this year, trailing behind an active $800 million Mega Millions jackpot scheduled for its next drawing on Tuesday night.
