August 1, 2026 Powerball Results: $1M Winner in Maryland, Jackpot Rolls On
The jackpot survived, but the draw still produced a major winner: a $1M Match 5 ticket in Maryland.
The draw's strongest angle is the non-jackpot winner in Maryland who hit Match 5. That prize does not end the jackpot run, but it still creates a real tax-planning problem.
The winning numbers were 6, 17, 27, 48, 50 and Powerball 5, with Power Play 3x. The white balls totaled 148, with an odd/even split of 2/3 and a low/high split of 3/2.
With no grand-prize winner, the jackpot is now set to roll to $748M for Monday, Aug 3, with a cash value around $325.1M.
While the jackpot remains elusive, it was still a life-changing night for a player in Maryland who hit Match 5 for $1M.
