Lottery fever swept across the United States on January 24, 2026, as players in multiple states eagerly checked their tickets, hoping to strike it rich. From the sun-drenched corners of Florida to the snowy streets of Michigan, and as far as the rolling plains of South Dakota and Indiana’s heartland, millions waited for the latest draw results, dreaming of life-changing jackpots and instant fortunes. Let’s take a detailed look at the night’s big winners, the numbers that mattered, and what it takes to claim those elusive prizes.
According to the South Dakota Lottery, Saturday’s Powerball drawing produced the winning numbers 02, 16, 35, 61, and 63, with the Powerball 05 and a Power Play multiplier of 3. Powerball, a multi-state game with a reputation for sky-high jackpots, continues to capture the imagination of players across the country. South Dakota also revealed the Lucky For Life numbers as 08, 17, 25, 40, 44, with the Lucky Ball 07. For Lotto America, the winning combination was 04, 11, 16, 33, 42, Star Ball 06, and ASB 04, while Dakota Cash drew 01, 02, 04, 24, and 35. Drawings for these games are held at set times throughout the week, with Powerball at 9:59 p.m. CT on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and Lucky For Life drawing daily at 9:38 p.m. CT.
Winners in South Dakota have a straightforward process for claiming their prizes. As per the South Dakota Lottery, prizes of $100 or less can be redeemed at any licensed retailer, but larger winnings require a bit more effort. Prizes above $101 must be claimed directly from the Lottery, either by mail—by sending in a claim form and the signed ticket—or in person at a Lottery office, especially for jackpot or top prize tickets. The biggest Powerball and Mega Millions winners must make their way to Pierre, the state capital, to present their winning ticket in person.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, the Michigan Lottery held a slew of drawings on January 24, 2026, including Daily 3, Daily 4, Lucky For Life, Poker Lotto, Fantasy 5, Daily Keno, Classic Lotto 47, and Lotto Double Play. The Daily 3 midday numbers were 7-0-0, with the evening numbers 7-8-2. For Daily 4, midday was 9-6-1-2 and evening 3-3-5-8. Lucky For Life’s numbers matched South Dakota’s, highlighting the multi-state nature of the game: 08, 17, 25, 40, 44, Lucky Ball 07. Poker Lotto drew AC, JS, 5D, 7D, and 6H, while Fantasy 5 had two sets of winning numbers: 27, 30, 37, 38, 39 and 13, 19, 22, 31, 38. Classic Lotto 47 numbers came up as 01, 08, 22, 33, 40, 45, and Lotto Double Play was 04, 21, 22, 30, 33, 42. Daily Keno, a game with a fast pace and lots of winners, delivered a 22-number spread, including 03, 07, 08, 12, 14, and so on.
Claiming a Michigan Lottery prize depends on the amount. Prizes up to $600 can be redeemed at any retailer, while those up to $99,999.99 can be claimed by mail or in person at one of several regional offices. For the largest prizes—over $100,000—winners must visit the Michigan Lottery Headquarters in Lansing, bringing original identification and their Social Security card. Appointments are required for in-person claims, reflecting the Lottery’s commitment to security and privacy. Drawings for Michigan’s games are held at various times, with Daily 3 and Daily 4 at 12:59 p.m. and 7:29 p.m., and Lucky For Life at 10:38 p.m. daily.
Down in Florida, excitement was at a fever pitch as the Florida Lotto jackpot soared to $18.25 million after 19 consecutive rollovers. The winning numbers for Saturday, January 24, 2026, were 13, 14, 30, 32, 43, and 44, with Double Play numbers 6, 7, 27, 42, 46, 51. The previous jackpot was last hit on November 15, 2025, by a lucky player at a Circle K in Pensacola, who took home $3.75 million. Since then, the jackpot steadily climbed, with each rollover adding more anticipation. Florida Lotto drawings take place at 11:15 p.m. ET every Wednesday and Saturday, even on holidays.
Florida’s lottery system is transparent but offers a brief window of privacy for big winners. According to the Florida Lottery, winners’ names and other details must be disclosed under state law, but those who claim prizes of $250,000 or more get a 90-day exemption from public disclosure—unless they choose to waive it. Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize, but only 60 days to opt for the cash payout. Tickets are widely available at gas stations, grocery stores, and even some Walmart locations, making participation easy for just about anyone.
Indiana’s Hoosier Lottery also had a busy night on January 24, 2026, with drawings for Hoosier Lotto, Cash 5, Daily 3, Daily 4, Quick Draw, Cash4Life, and Cash Pop. The Hoosier Lotto numbers were 13, 23, 31, 33, 36, and 38, while Cash 5 came up with 18, 27, 29, 35, and 37. Daily 3 midday was 4, 6, 3 with SB 2, and evening was 3, 8, 8 with SB 1. Daily 4 midday was 0, 5, 9, 4 with SB 2, and evening 8, 9, 4, 6 with SB 1. Quick Draw and Cash Pop offered even more chances for Hoosiers to win, with numbers drawn throughout the day. Cash4Life, another multi-state game, produced 15, 16, 32, 38, 51, with Cash Ball 02.
Claiming prizes in Indiana is a tiered process. Prizes of $599 or less can be claimed at any authorized retailer, while those between $600 and $49,999 can be claimed at regional offices or by mail. For the largest prizes—$50,000 or more—winners must visit the Hoosier Lottery headquarters in Indianapolis. All claims must be made within 180 days of the drawing, ensuring winners act quickly to secure their windfall.
Adding to the excitement nationwide, a Murphy USA gas station in Cabot, Arkansas, sold the winning ticket for the December 24, 2025, Powerball jackpot—a staggering $1.817 billion, the second-largest in Powerball history. As reported by the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery, the winner has chosen to remain anonymous, a right allowed in Arkansas but not in every state.
For those feeling lucky, the next round of drawings is just around the corner. Whether you’re a casual player buying a quick pick at the grocery store or a regular chasing the dream, the lottery remains a uniquely American tradition—equal parts hope, suspense, and the thrill of possibility. So, did you check your numbers?
