No ticket matched all six numbers in the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, so the estimated $716 million jackpot was not won and will roll over to the next drawing. The winning numbers for October 28 were 11, 13, 16, 47 and 60, with the Powerball number 13. The Power Play multiplier was 2x. The jackpot for the next drawing, on Saturday, October 31, is estimated at $760 million, according to reports of the updated prize. The October 28 jackpot carried an estimated cash option of $307.2 million before taxes; the cash figure for the new $760 million prize was not stated in the reports checked for this article.
A jackpot still growing since August
The prize has been growing since August 12, when a ticket sold in Illinois matched all six numbers and won an estimated $1.04 billion. That remains the most recent Powerball jackpot win before this run of rollovers. Powerball drawings are held three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday — at about 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. A ticket costs $2, with an optional $1 Power Play that can multiply non-jackpot prizes. The odds of matching all five white balls plus the Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association figures cited in coverage of the game. The overall chance of winning any prize is 1 in 24.9.
How the prizes work
Matching all five white balls plus the Powerball wins the jackpot. Matching all five white balls alone is worth $1 million, while matching the Powerball alone is worth $4. Smaller prizes are paid for other combinations, and the Power Play multiplier increases non-jackpot prizes. Players pick five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26, or choose a computer-generated Quick Pick. Ticket purchase deadlines vary by state, so players should check their local deadline before the Saturday drawing. The rollover continues a pattern seen repeatedly in this jackpot run: each drawing without a jackpot winner pushes the advertised prize higher, and attention rises with it — even though the odds for any single ticket do not change.
What happens next
The next drawing is on Saturday, October 31, at about 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. If no ticket matches all six numbers again, the jackpot will keep growing. If a ticket does match, the winner will be able to choose between the advertised annuity, paid over 30 years, and a lump-sum cash option.
