Powerball Jackpot Climbs as Monday Drawing Yields No Winner

The Powerball jackpot continues to climb following the Monday night drawing on November 2, 2026, after no single ticket matched all six winning numbers. With the top prize rolling over, lottery players across the United States are preparing for the next drawing scheduled for Wednesday night.

The winning numbers drawn on Monday were 7, 23, 29, 64, and 66, with a Powerball number of 23. The Power Play multiplier for the drawing was selected as 4x. While the grand prize went unclaimed, a ticket sold in Delaware successfully matched all five white balls to secure a $1 million prize.

Estimates regarding the exact size of the growing jackpot varied slightly following the drawing. Some reports estimated the prize reached approximately $793 million with a cash value of $339.9 million, while others projected the growing top prize had surged to an estimated $835 million or even $803.9 million as consecutive drawings without a winner continued to stack up.

The current jackpot cycle follows a long streak without a top-tier winner, keeping players engaged across multiple jurisdictions. This ongoing run has also featured unique participation milestones, including players in the United Kingdom contributing to the prize pool from the very start of the cycle for the first time.

For participants hoping to win, standard Powerball tickets cost $2, with an option to add a $1 Power Play feature that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or ten times, depending on the rules of the draw. Additionally, players purchasing tickets in stores can opt for the Double Play feature for an extra $1, entering their numbers into a secondary drawing held later in the evening.

The odds of winning the grand prize remain challenging at approximately 1 in 292.2 million, while the overall odds of winning any prize stand at 1 in 24.9. Drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.

As ticket sales resume for the upcoming drawing, players are reminded to check local deadlines for purchasing entries, such as 9:45 p.m. in states like Michigan. Unclaimed prizes and standard winnings follow specific state regulations, with various avenues available for players to verify numbers and claim rewards.
