Powerball Winning Numbers for Nov. 2: 7, 23, 29, 64, 66 and Powerball 23 — No Winner, and the $793 Million Jackpot Rolls On
Monday night's drawing produced no jackpot winner, the lottery reports carried this run say, so the tenth-largest prize in Powerball history rolls to Wednesday night — four months after an Illinois ticket won $1.04 billion.
Check the tickets from Monday night: the winning numbers in the Nov. 2 Powerball drawing are 7, 23, 29, 64 and 66, with the Powerball 23 and a Power Play multiplier of 4x, according to the results reported by USA Today and the Asbury Park Press.
No one won the jackpot, the Asbury Park Press reported, so a prize estimated at $793 million — with a cash option of $339.9 million, the tenth-largest jackpot in the game's history — rolls on to the next drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at about 10:59 p.m. Eastern, 9:59 p.m. in Chicago. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.
The jackpot was last won on Aug. 12, when a ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois, won $1.04 billion — the eighth-largest prize in the game's history — and Monday's drawing was the latest in the long roll since. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million.
For Illinois players, the practical notes are unchanged: a ticket costs $2, the optional Power Play costs $1 more and multiplies non-jackpot prizes, and even a losing Monday ticket is worth a second look — matching the five white balls without the Powerball pays $1 million, and prizes step down from there. Wednesday's jackpot estimate will be published by the lottery ahead of the drawing.
