New Jersey ticket claims $847 million Powerball jackpot after 35-drawing drought
A single Powerball ticket sold in New Jersey won the $847 million jackpot on Wednesday, ending a 35-drawing streak without a top prize winner. The winner can choose between an annuity or a $363.1 million lump sum. This is the ninth-largest Powerball jackpot ever and the second-largest of 2026. The jackpot had reached $835 million before the draw, marking the first time UK participation contributed to the prize pool.
