ILLINOIS — Two Illinois Lottery players are celebrating sizable wins after matching numbers in the Powerball drawing held Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
The winning numbers for the drawing were 13, 21, 27, 43, 45, and Powerball 26. The Power Play multiplier was 5x.
While no ticket matched all six numbers to claim the estimated $59 million jackpot, two tickets sold in Illinois each matched four white balls plus the Powerball. With the Power Play applied, each ticket is worth $250,000.
The jackpot had an estimated cash value of $26.7 million. With no grand prize winner in the drawing, the jackpot is expected to roll over for the next drawing.
Officials have not yet released the locations where the winning tickets were sold. Lottery officials encourage winners to sign the back of their tickets and contact the Illinois Lottery to begin the claims process.
