Powerball Winning Numbers for July 15, 2026: 02-07-18-29-38, Powerball 16

The July 15, 2026 Powerball drawing produced numbers 02-07-18-29-38 with Powerball 16 and a 2x Power Play.

Wednesday's Powerball drawing on July 15, 2026 landed on 02, 07, 18, 29, and 38, with a Powerball number of 16 and a Power Play multiplier of 2. The numbers were reported consistently across both Ohio and South Dakota lottery result roundups, which cover the same national Powerball drawing. Powerball is a multi-state lottery game with drawings held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. The Power Play option, when purchased, multiplies non-jackpot prizes by the drawn multiplier — in this case, 2x. The South Dakota results also included the July 15 Lotto America drawing, which produced 26, 29, 41, 46, and 47, with a Star Ball number not fully captured in the available reporting. Both state lottery outlets are regional repackagings of the same national draw data.

Why it matters

Lottery players across participating states use these results to check tickets; Powerball is sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, making each drawing relevant to tens of millions of ticket holders.

What's next

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 10:59 p.m.

Key facts

Bias & framing notes

Both sources originate from the same publisher (newspub_live) and appear to be templated state-specific lottery result posts. There is no independent corroboration from a separate outlet, but the two articles agree exactly on the Powerball numbers, and lottery draw results are publicly verifiable official data, which supports reliability.
