One lucky player in AR walked away with $249,000,000 Powerball jackpot in Monday night's drawing
Updated: Tuesday, March 3, 2026 01:51 AM
A single lucky person bought a Powerball ticket that matched all 5 numbers and the Powerball to clinch a $249,000,000 grand prize. Lottery officials said the winning ticket in Monday night's drawing was sold in AR. The winning numbers from Monday night, March 2nd, 2026 were 02-17-18-38-62 with Power Ball number 20. The jackpot winner will now need to determine to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or the one time cash lump-sum in the amount of $117.2 million before Uncle Sam's share is extracted. The jackpot winner is highly suggested to sign the ticket, put it in a secure place and get in touch with lottery officials as soon as possible. Jackpot winner has the opportunity to choose the cash value of the jackpot while claimng the prizes. If the winner doesn't make choice, the payment option will revert to annuity by default.
Besides the jackpot won on Monday, more players walked away with large winnings. There was only one 2nd prize winning ticket from Monday night's Powerball drawing, matching all 5 white ball numbers but not the Powerball number. The one second prize ticket(s) from PR matched all 5 white ball numbers and also purchased Power Play, which doubled the prize to $2,000,000 cash win!
Also, 3 tickets matched 4 of the 5 lotto numbers, as well as the Powerball number. Those tickets are each worth $10,000. 2 additional players not just matched 4+1, and also bought the Power Play option, multiplying the prizes by 4 for a total win of $40,000 each!
With nine prize tiers, there were 358,775 tickets across U.S. won $0 prizes in the Monday, March 2nd, 2026 drawing.
The upcoming Powerball lottery top prize is estimated at $20,000,000 for Wednesday, March 4th, 2026. The cash option will be $$9.4 million.
