The most recent big Powerball jackpot in January 2026 was won with a ticket sold in North Carolina, at a small convenience store in Roanoke Rapids.

Quick Scoop

  • The first Powerball jackpot of 2026 was about 209 million dollars and was hit in the January 21 drawing.
  • The winning Powerball ticket for that jackpot was sold at West 10th Mart on West 10th Street in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina.
  • The winner has already claimed the prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh but chose to remain anonymous for up to 90 days, as allowed under North Carolina law for prizes over 50 million dollars.
  • The retailer that sold the ticket receives a 50,000 dollar bonus for selling a jackpot-winning ticket.

If you were asking about a different drawing (for example a later January 2026 drawing or another high jackpot), the exact location may not yet be announced or may have been in a different state, so you’d need the specific drawing date to check.
