Nobody won the Powerball jackpot in the Saturday, October 10 drawing, lottery officials said, sending the estimated jackpot rolling to $538 million for Monday's drawing — one of the largest prizes of the year. A ticket sold in California won $1 million by matching all five white balls, and hundreds of thousands of players collected smaller prizes across the country.
The winning white balls were 1, 4, 19, 33 and 51, with the red Powerball 15 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x. The estimated jackpot of $516 million ($211.6 million cash value) went unclaimed, as no ticket matched all six numbers. Saturday's result means the jackpot has now been growing for nearly two months without a top winner.

The night's biggest winner was a California ticket matching all five white balls for $1 million, sold at an Americo store at 12402 Woodside Avenue in Lakeside, California. Separately, 18 tickets matched four white balls plus the Powerball for $50,000 each — four of them boosted to $100,000 thanks to the 2x Power Play multiplier.
The jackpot was last hit on August 12, 2026, when an Illinois player won $1.04 billion. It reset to $20 million on August 15 and has rolled over 24 times since, climbing from $485 million to $516 million. Jackpots balloon when nobody matches all six numbers because the unclaimed prize money feeds the next drawing's pool. The largest Powerball jackpot ever won was $2.04 billion in California on November 7, 2022; two other jackpots topped $1.78 billion in 2025, in Arkansas and in Missouri and Texas.
The next drawing is Monday, October 12, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, with an estimated $538 million jackpot ($220.6 million cash option) — the winner can choose between the annuity paid over time or the smaller lump sum before taxes. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Tickets cost $2 per play, with an optional $1 Power Play that multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to five times (a 10x multiplier is possible only when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less); the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Players should verify numbers through official lottery channels, as claim deadlines vary by state — in New Jersey, for example, tickets must be bought by 9:59 p.m. on drawing night. Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot sits at $385 million, giving jackpot hunters two nine-figure shots in one weekend.
