No ticket matched all six numbers in the Monday, October 19, 2026 Powerball drawing, rolling the jackpot to an estimated $635 million - about $267.5 million cash - for the Wednesday, October 21 draw.
The jackpot right now
The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $635 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the Monday, October 19, 2026 drawing. The advertised figure is the annuity jackpot, paid over 30 years; the one-time cash option is smaller, listed at $267.5 million before taxes.
The no-winner draw
The winning numbers on October 19 were 8, 31, 32, 42 and 48 with Powerball 23, and the Power Play multiplier was 4x. Nobody won the jackpot, and no ticket took the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize. One Michigan ticket matched all five white balls and won $1 million. The next drawing is Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 10:59 p.m. ET.
How it compares
At an estimated $635 million this remains one of the larger prizes offered in 2026, though it is well short of the game's record jackpot of $2.04 billion from November 2022. The jackpot keeps growing with each drawing until a ticket matches all six numbers.
