Winning Powerball numbers were drawn for the Wednesday, July 29, 2026 drawing, reports say. Multiple news outlets reported that the advertised Powerball jackpot for that drawing was approximately $663 million, with one outlet noting a cash value near $290.4 million.

Jackpot amount and cash value

Reports indicate the advertised jackpot for the July 29 drawing was about $663 million. One outlet provided an estimated cash-value figure of roughly $290.4 million; outlets vary in how they present annuity versus lump-sum values, so those numbers reflect the advertised amount reported by media rather than a direct statement of prize disbursement.

Reporting also noted that the Mega Millions jackpot had been won in Florida and that the Mega Millions prize had reset to $50 million. That reset reflects a separate drawing and does not affect the Powerball advertised jackpot.

Outlets described the drawing and reported advertised jackpot figures but did not publish the drawing’s winning number list or identify any confirmed ticket holders in the immediate reports. Officials or lottery authorities sometimes provide later official confirmation of winning numbers, prize-level claims, and winner identities; those details were not included in the cited coverage at the time of reporting.

The available information establishes that the July 29 Powerball drawing occurred and that media outlets reported the advertised jackpot at roughly $663 million, while Mega Millions had a separate reset to $50 million after a Florida win.
