Powerball results for 01/21/26; 1 winner of $209 million jackpot

  • On Jan. 21, 2026, a single ticket sold in North Carolina matched all six balls to win the estimated $209 million Powerball jackpot.
  • To win the jackpot players must match five white balls and the red Powerball, with Powerball drawings held Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. ET.
  • Published results show the Jan. 21 drawn balls were 11, 26, 27, 53, 55 and Powerball 12 with Power Play 2X, and there were no $2 million Match 5 + Power Play or $1 million Match 5 prize winners.
  • The ticket holder can choose a $95.3 million cash option or installments, with federal and North Carolina taxes—24% and 5.25%—reducing the payout, according to tax rules.
