Powerball Jackpot Hits $400 Million After No Winner

The Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated $400 million for the drawing on November 1, 2025, with a cash option of approximately $189 million, following no winners in the most recent drawing with winning numbers 2, 26, 43, 44, 62, and Powerball 22. The last jackpot was won on September 6, 2025, by two players from Missouri and Texas who shared a record $1.787 billion prize, the second-largest in Powerball history. Powerball tickets cost $2, with an optional $1 Power Play feature to multiply non-jackpot winnings, and drawings occur three times weekly at 10:59 p.m. ET. Additionally, the Mega Millions jackpot is soaring at an estimated $800 million, increasing the excitement in the lottery scene. Players can purchase tickets in 45 states plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with options for in-person or digital purchases through services like Jackpocket. Statistically, while winning the jackpot is rare, smaller prizes can be won with fewer matching numbers, and players are advised to check official details for prize structures and purchase deadlines.
