Powerball Winner Strikes it Big: $231 Million Jackpot Claimed!
The Powerball results are in, and someone is starting their week as a major millionaire! Monday night’s Powerball drawing was worth an estimated $231 million, and a single ticket sold in Delaware matched all six numbers, claiming the grand prize. But that’s not all – there were other significant winners as well. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the winning numbers, prize tiers, and everything you need to know.
Winning Numbers for Monday, April 6, 2026
- Winning Numbers: 7, 24, 37, 42, 57
- Powerball: 5
- Power Play: 2x
A ticket purchased in Delaware perfectly matched all six numbers, securing the $231 million jackpot. In Texas, one ticket matched all five numbers, but not the Powerball, and with the Power Play option activated, it’s worth a remarkable $2 million!
Double Play Results
For those who opted for the Double Play feature, the results were as follows:
- Double Play Numbers: 3, 17, 48, 56, 64
- Double Play Powerball: 20
Unfortunately, no tickets matched all six numbers in the Double Play drawing, and no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball for the $500,000 prize.
What’s Next? The Jackpot Resets
The Powerball jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, will reset to a still-impressive $20 million, with a cash option of $9.1 million. Drawings are held three times a week – Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays – around 10:59 p.m. ET.
How Much Can You Win?
You don’t need to match all the numbers to win! Even matching just the Powerball can earn you a $4 prize. For a complete breakdown of prize tiers, visit the official Powerball prize chart.
Remember, a single Powerball ticket costs $2. For an extra $1, you can add the Power Play to potentially multiply your winnings (excluding the jackpot). And for another $1, the Double Play gives you a second chance to win up to $10 million.
Mega Millions Update
Don’t forget about Mega Millions! Friday night’s winning numbers were 31, 45, 62, 63, 68, and the Mega Ball was 15. The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday night’s drawing is growing to an estimated $100 million, with a cash option of $44.7 million. Check the Mega Millions website for more details.
