Powerball $154M Numbers Revealed — Did Anyone Win the Presidents’ Day Jackpot?
The numbers are in and millions of hopeful players across the United States are now checking their tickets after the $154 million Powerball drawing.
Here’s what was drawn for Monday, February 16: 16, 18, 19, 56 and 58, with a Powerball of 6. The Power Play multiplier came in at 3x. That means non-jackpot prizes could be tripled, depending on how many numbers were matched. But the big question tonight is simple, did anyone match all six numbers and claim the $154 million grand prize?
As of now, officials are still verifying results and confirmation of a jackpot winner is pending. If no one matched all six numbers, the prize will roll over once again, pushing the jackpot even higher for the next drawing.

To put this into perspective, the odds of matching all six numbers in Powerball are about 1 in 292 million. It is a long shot and yet someone eventually beats those odds. Just last month, a single ticket in North Carolina claimed more than $200 million, resetting the jackpot before this latest climb began.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost two dollars and for an extra dollar, players can add the Power Play option, which increases most non-jackpot winnings. Even matching just the Powerball number alone wins a small prize, so there are multiple ways to walk away with something.
Meanwhile, attention is also building around the Mega Millions jackpot, which has surged to nearly $400 million after no recent grand prize winner there either. That means lottery excitement is rising on two fronts and ticket sales are likely to spike again ahead of the next draws.
Beyond the numbers and the headlines, these massive jackpots often spark conversations about financial planning, taxes and sudden wealth. Winners typically must choose between a lump sum cash payout or annual payments spread over decades and taxes can significantly reduce the advertised total. So while the headline number may be $154 million, the actual take-home amount is considerably less.
For now, players are double-checking tickets, retailers are awaiting official confirmations and lottery officials are preparing for either a celebration or another rollover.
Stay with us for confirmed winner updates, jackpot developments and what this could mean for the next drawing. Keep watching for the latest verified results as they come in.
