For the second time in less than three months, an Arkansas Scholarship Lottery player has won the Powerball® jackpot. A single ticket in Arkansas won the $250.8 million jackpot in last night’s Powerball drawing. The jackpot has a cash value of $118.0 million.
The winning numbers in last night’s Powerball drawing were white balls 2, 17, 18, 38, 62 and red Powerball 20. The Power Play® multiplier was 2X.
The lucky winner will have the choice to receive the prize as an annuity, paid out as 30 increasing payments over 29 years, or a lump sum payout of $118.0 million. Both prize options are before taxes.
This marks the second time the Powerball jackpot has been won this year. The jackpot was previously won by a player in North Carolina who won a $209.3 million prize in the Jan. 21, 2026 drawing.
The latest win marks the second Powerball jackpot victory in less than three months in Arkansas, after a player won the historic $1.817 billion jackpot in the Dec. 24, 2025 drawing.
For the next drawing on Wednesday night, the Powerball jackpot resets to $20 million. The Power Play® 10X multiplier will be available for play since the advertised jackpot is below $150 million.
Powerball® tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
More than half of every $2 Powerball ticket stays where it is sold, with a portion going back to support local communities through public programs and services. Since 1992, the game has generated an estimated $38 billion for good causes, including education and scholarships, veteran services, parks and recreation, and more.
Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, Fla. Powerball drawings are also livestreamed on Powerball.com.
The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.9. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
