So… who won?
Early indications show that no ticket matched all the numbers required to claim the main PowerBall jackpot on Tuesday night. As a result, the prize pool rolls over, growing even larger ahead of the next draw.
Lower-tier prizes, however, were paid out across multiple divisions — meaning many players still walked away with cash wins, even if the jackpot remained elusive.
What happens next?
With no jackpot winner declared, excitement now shifts to the next PowerBall draw, where an even bigger prize is expected to be up for grabs. Rollovers often drive higher ticket sales, especially during the festive season.
If you’re checking tickets from earlier this month, you may want to revisit past results, including:
