At 10:59 p.m. on Monday, May 18, 2026, the Powerball numbers were pulled and the biggest prize didn’t go to a single ticket. The winning set landed on 4, 13, 34, 61 and 65, with the Powerball number drawn as 12. The Power Play multiplier for the draw was 2x.
The advertised jackpot heading into the night was $100 million, with a $43.9 million cash value. When the results came in, there was no jackpot winner—no one matched all five white balls and the Powerball. A ticket sold in Virginia, however, matched all five white balls and had the Power Play option to win $2 million.
Michigan’s lottery landscape also includes a constant behind-the-scenes effort to protect players. Michigan Lottery says annual complaints impact only a tiny percentage of the agency’s 10,500 retailers, but all are taken seriously and investigated.

Tickets have a tight deadline. In Michigan, in-store and online ticket sales are available until 9:45 p.m. on the night of the draw.
Powerball costs $2 to play. For an additional $1 per play. players can add Power Play. which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by two. three. four. five or 10 times. The multiplier is randomly selected before each drawing. The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.

So nobody won but it says $100 million… does that mean it just carries over or are they messing with the numbers?
Virginia got $2 million for matching all five white balls and the Power Play or whatever. I don’t even get how you can win “almost” the jackpot like that. Also why is the next drawing Wednesday but the article says Monday like 100 times.
My cousin said Michigan lotteries are basically scams bc they “protect players” lol. Like complaints “tiny percentage” is still a bunch of people if you do the math. Idk man, seems like they always blame retailers but then still sell the tickets.
Powerball was 4, 13, 34, 61, 65 with Powerball 12 and 2x… I swear I had 12 in my head and I still didn’t play. The cash value being $43.9m is wild though, like that’s not what they advertise, right? Anyway Wednesday at 10:59pm right? I’m probably late because I always forget the cutoff.
