Powerball Jackpot Winner Announced in Delaware, Next Drawing Set for Wednesday A ticket sold in Delaware has claimed the $231 million Powerball jackpot for the April 6, 2026, drawing, marking a significant win in the state’s lottery history. The winning numbers for the Monday night drawing were 7, 24, 37, 42, 57, with the Powerball number 5. This combination secured the top prize, while a separate ticket in Texas matched five numbers and the Power Play multiplier to win $2 million. The Powerball jackpot for the next drawing on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, has been reset to an estimated $20 million, with a cash option valued at $9.1 million. The Powerball results for the April 6 drawing were confirmed by lottery officials, with the winning numbers detailed as 7, 24, 37, 42, 57, and the Powerball of 5. The Power Play feature, which allows players to multiply non-jackpot winnings, was set at 2x for this draw. The Delaware winner, whose identity has not been disclosed, will have the opportunity to claim the prize either as a lump sum or through annuity payments, depending on their preference. In addition to the jackpot, the Powerball Double Play numbers for the April 6 drawing were 3, 17, 48, 56, 64, with the Powerball number 20. Despite the Double Play offering a second chance to win $10 million, no ticket matched all six numbers, and only one ticket matched five numbers except for the Powerball, earning a $500,000 prize. The Power Play feature, which costs an additional $1 per ticket, was a key factor in the Texas winner’s $2 million payout. The Powerball jackpot for the next drawing, scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, will start at $20 million. This amount is significantly lower than the $231 million jackpot from the previous week, reflecting the reset of the prize pool after the Delaware winner’s claim.#texas #powerball #delaware #powerball_jackpot #powerball_results
