Lotto results roundup: Mega Millions, Powerball, EuroMillions, Florida Lotto, and South Africa Lotto numbers
Lotto results were updated across multiple major games as jackpots continued to climb and midweek draws brought fresh winning combinations. As of Wednesday, January 28, 2026 ET, several headline games have confirmed results from draws completed over the past 48 hours, while a few marquee jackpots are still headed into their next scheduled drawings later this week.
Some specifics have not been publicly clarified yet in early reports, including the final count of top-tier winners in every jurisdiction, since prize tier totals can change after ticket validation and late claims are processed.
Mega Millions and Powerball: the biggest U.S. numbers people are checking
Mega Millions produced a new set of winning numbers in the Tuesday, January 27, 2026 ET drawing: 4, 20, 38, 56, 66, with Mega Ball 5. The result kept attention on the jackpot trajectory, as rolling prizes have driven heavy interest in both single-ticket buyers and workplace pools.
Powerball’s most recent completed draw was Monday, January 26, 2026 ET. The winning numbers were 21, 31, 51, 60, 63, with Powerball 18, and a Power Play of 2x. With no jackpot winner reported for that drawing, the next advertised jackpot moved higher for the Wednesday, January 28, 2026 ET drawing.
If you are checking tickets for a midweek run, the practical detail is timing. Mega Millions draws occur on Tuesday and Friday nights, while Powerball draws run on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights, so the most “current” results depend on which game you played and when.
Florida Lotto and South Africa Lotto: regional draws with fresh combinations
Florida Lotto’s latest completed draw listed for Saturday, January 24, 2026 ET showed winning numbers 13, 14, 30, 32, 43, 44. The Double Play numbers for the same date were 6, 7, 27, 42, 46, 51. The next Florida Lotto drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2026 ET, with an advertised jackpot in the high teens of millions of dollars.
In South Africa, the Wednesday, January 28, 2026 draw results posted the following combinations. Lotto numbers: 9, 18, 19, 36, 37, 49, with bonus 50. Lotto Plus 1 numbers: 16, 22, 26, 28, 37, 54, with bonus 38. Lotto Plus 2 numbers: 21, 22, 23, 50, 55, 58, with bonus 1.
Because many places use the word “Lotto” differently, these regional results often generate confusion in search. A “Lotto” ticket in one country may not match the rules, draw days, or number count in another, even if the name looks similar.
EuroMillions: a Tuesday draw that kept the jackpot pressure on
EuroMillions results for Tuesday, January 27, 2026 ET listed the main numbers as 4, 23, 42, 43, 47, with Lucky Stars 3 and 9. The same night also included Thunderball numbers 14, 16, 22, 27, 29, with Thunderball 13.
EuroMillions is a common reference point for global “lotto results” searches because it draws interest across several countries and is discussed heavily whenever rollovers build. Even when the jackpot is not hit, lower-tier wins can still be meaningful, particularly when matched-number categories land in the tens of thousands.
Further specifics were not immediately available about the full breakdown of winners across all participating regions, as detailed prize reports can vary in timing.
How results are confirmed, and why prize totals can change after draw night
Lottery systems have two separate steps that matter to players: the draw itself, and the validation process afterward. The draw produces the official winning numbers, typically audited and recorded immediately. But the number of winners in each prize tier can shift slightly as ticket data is finalized, retailer transmissions are reconciled, and play slips are verified for correct wager type.
That’s why you may see early “rollover” headlines while some prize-tier counts remain incomplete, or why a big win may not be visible publicly until a claim is filed and processed. The core numbers usually do not change, but the payout picture around them can sharpen over the next day or two.
What comes next: the next drawings people will watch
The next concrete milestone for U.S. players is the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 ET, followed by the next Mega Millions drawing on Friday, January 30, 2026 ET. For regional games, the next checkpoints are their regularly scheduled draw nights, which can arrive sooner depending on the local calendar.
If you played, double-check the exact game name on your ticket, confirm whether it included add-ons like Power Play, Megaplier, or Double Play, and compare the full set of numbers in the correct order for that game. That small step prevents the most common mistake in “lotto results” searches: matching the right numbers to the wrong lottery.
