Powerball Jackpot Reaches $707 Million as Mississippi Players Score Big Wins

Ticket Purchased in Gulfport Nabs $50,000 Prize in July 29 Drawing

JACKSON, MISS. – With no jackpot winner in the Wednesday, July 29 drawing, dreams of a life-changing Powerball win continue to grow as the jackpot climbs to an estimated $707 million with an estimated cash value of $309.7 million for the Saturday, Aug. 1 drawing.

While the jackpot continues to build, Mississippi players are already seeing their Powerball dreams become reality with life-altering wins. A ticket purchased in Gulfport won $50,000 in Wednesday night’s Powerball Double Play drawing in the same week a McComb player claimed a $50,000 Powerball prize, and a Belden player celebrated a $1 million Powerball win after being one number short of the jackpot.

The current jackpot is the largest of the year and marks the game’s 39th consecutive drawing since the jackpot was last won.

In 2026, five Powerball jackpots have been won, with winning tickets sold across the U.S., demonstrating that a jackpot prize can come from anywhere Powerball is played.
