Powerball Soars to $365 Million—But Still No Winner
Hey, did you catch the Powerball results from Monday night, July 28? The jackpot had climbed all the way up to a staggering $365 million , and the cash payout option stood at a pretty tempting $164.5 million . But—once again— no one hit the big one .
The winning numbers for that night were 7, 35, 36, 43, 62 , and the Powerball was 3 , with a Power Play of 3X . Now, while no ticket matched all six numbers for the jackpot, there was one lucky person in California who matched five numbers and walked away with a cool $1 million . Not a bad consolation prize, right?

This isn't the first time the jackpot has slipped through everyone’s fingers. In fact, this year alone, there have only been four Powerball jackpot winners so far. The most recent win was back on May 31 , when someone in California took home a $204.5 million prize. Earlier in the year, there was a $328.5 million win in Oregon (January 18), a massive $527 million prize in California (March 29), and a $167.3 million jackpot claimed by a lucky winner in Kentucky on April 26 .
So what’s next? The jackpot keeps rolling over and is now estimated to jump to $384 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, July 30 , with a cash option of about $173.1 million . If you’re thinking of trying your luck, Powerball tickets cost just $2 , and you can add the “Power Play” for another dollar to increase non-jackpot winnings.
If you're not into picking your own numbers, you can always use the “Quick Pick” option—just let the computer decide for you. And for those wondering how to play: you pick five white balls (from 1 to 69) and one red Powerball (from 1 to 26). Match them all, and you hit the jackpot. Miss the Powerball? You can still win smaller prizes—like $4 just for matching the red ball.
You can buy tickets at gas stations, grocery stores, and even online in some states using apps like Jackpocket , which lets you pick your numbers, order your ticket, and even collect your winnings—all digitally.
So, the question remains: will someone hit the jackpot this week, or will the prize keep climbing higher? Only time—and a few lucky numbers—will tell.
