Powerball Hits $1 Billion Jackpot | Wilmington News

Powerball just hit a jaw-dropping $1 billion jackpot—its eighth-largest ever and the 15th U.S. lottery to reach that milestone. The winning numbers? 4, 26, 66, 67, 69 with Powerball 9. Winners could’ve taken $455 million upfront—or opted for 29 annual payments growing by 5% each year. This was the biggest Powerball prize of 2026—and the first time UK players could’ve won, since tickets went on sale there in late July. Odds? One in 292 million. With tickets costing just $2 across 45 states and territories, the dream of life-changing cash keeps people playing despite the long odds.
