Powerball Results 16 July 2026: Winning Numbers and Analysis

Powerball's draw on 16 July 2026 produced no Division 1 winner, leaving the $20,000,000 top prize unclaimed. The jackpot amount for the next draw was not available at the time of publication. Four entries matched Division 2 requirements, each collecting $137,889.

The seven main winning numbers drawn were 4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 22, and 28. The Powerball for the draw was 13. All seven main numbers fell within the range of 1 to 28, leaving the upper portion of the 1-to-35 pool entirely unrepresented.

Below Division 2, prizes were paid across four further divisions. The 53 Division 3 winners each received $12,871, while 1,142 Division 4 entries paid $521 apiece. Division 5 returned $199 to each of its 2,259 winners, and Division 6 distributed $89 across 31,609 entries. The total number of prize-winning entries across all six divisions exceeded 35,000.

Every one of the seven main winning numbers fell within the 1-to-31 birthday calendar range, with none reaching the under-picked zone of 32 to 35. A draw this concentrated in the low-number band tends to favour birthday-range pickers, as more players choose numbers tied to dates. Contrarian selections weighted towards 32 and above would not have matched any main number in this draw, which is the trade-off that occasionally occurs when the winning combination runs entirely through the popular range.

Outnumber generates number combinations weighted towards the less-frequently chosen range above 31, with the aim of reducing expected prize sharing when those numbers do appear in a winning draw. The site makes no claim that this approach improves the probability of winning a prize. Lottery outcomes are random, and no selection method changes the underlying odds.
