The Powerball jackpot has reached a staggering $467 million as two consecutive drawings failed to produce any top-prize winners. The cash value option for the jackpot now stands at over $220 million for the lucky individual whose ticket matches all five numbers along with the Powerball. The lottery website confirmed that there were no jackpot winners on Monday, Nov. 3, or Wednesday, Nov. 5. Moreover, in these recent drawings, there were no winners of the Powerball jackpot, the Match 5 + Power Play $2 million prize, or the Match 5 $1 million prize. The upcoming drawing is set for Saturday, Nov. 8, at 10:59 p.m. ET.
The largest Powerball jackpot in history was $2.04 billion, won by a resident of California in 2022. In September 2025, there was a remarkable tie when two individuals matched the numbers for a $1.8 billion jackpot. One of the winners, the Seven Bridges Revocable Trust in Fredericksburg, Texas, claimed their portion of the estimated $1.8 billion jackpot. They chose the cash value option and received a massive payout of $410,324,470.28 before taxes. This marked the largest sum ever paid out to a single Texas Lottery player and the third Powerball jackpot win for the Texas Lottery since joining the game in 2010.
For those looking for inspiration from previous numbers, the winning numbers for Wednesday’s drawing were 9, 17, 29, 61, 66, with a Powerball of 26, and a “Power Play” multiplier of 5x. In comparison, the winning numbers from Monday’s drawing were 3, 32, 40, 43, 57, with a Powerball of 18 and a “Power Play” multiplier of 2x. Powerball tickets are priced at $2, and players select five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls, followed by one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. These tickets are available for purchase at gas stations, convenience stores, and online in select states.
Players can win a prize by matching one of the nine possible ways to win, with jackpot winners needing to match all five white balls and the red Powerball in any order. Drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, with the jackpot escalating until a winning ticket is sold. Those struggling with gambling issues can seek help from the National Problem Gambling Helpline Network.
The anticipation is building as the Powerball jackpot continues to climb, offering players a chance to dream big and potentially walk away with a life-changing sum of money. With each drawing, the excitement grows as millions of hopefuls eagerly check their numbers, hoping to strike it rich. As the buzz around the Powerball jackpot intensifies, all eyes are on the upcoming drawing, where one lucky ticket holder could become the next multimillionaire in an instant. Stay tuned for updates on the Powerball jackpot as it reaches new heights and captures the imagination of millions across the nation.
