Powerball Jackpot Climbs to $635 Million for Wednesday's Drawing
Nobody matched all six numbers on Monday, so the jackpot rolls again.
The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $635 million for the drawing on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026. A winner who takes the cash option would receive an estimated $267.5 million before taxes.
No ticket matched all six numbers in Monday's drawing on Oct. 19. The winning numbers were 8, 31, 32, 42 and 48, with Powerball 23 and a Power Play of 4X.
Monday's biggest winner
One ticket sold in Michigan matched all five white balls to win the $1 million second prize.
How long the run has lasted
The jackpot has been rolling since mid-August. The last Powerball jackpot was won in Illinois on Aug. 12, a $1.04 billion prize.
What this means for players
A bigger jackpot does not change the odds. Each $2 play still has a one in 292,201,338 chance of winning the jackpot, and about one in 24.87 of winning any prize. Drawings are held Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern.
Check your Monday tickets against the official numbers before you buy new ones; smaller prizes, including the $4 Powerball-only prize, are easy to miss.
