Winning Powerball Numbers: 2, 4, 18, 50, 56 and Powerball 20 — No Halloween Winner, and Monday's Jackpot Climbs to $793 Million
No ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday's Halloween drawing, so the Powerball jackpot rolls to an estimated $793 million for Monday night — and Illinois players have a recent reminder that a jackpot ticket can land in this state: the last one was sold in Quincy in August.
Check the tickets from Halloween night one more time. The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday, October 31 were 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with a red Powerball of 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x — and no ticket anywhere matched all six, according to Powerball's reported results. Saturday's jackpot reached an estimated $770 million by drawing time, and because it went unclaimed, the prize rolls again.
Three tickets did come close. A ticket sold in North Carolina matched all five white balls and carried the Power Play, good for $2 million, and tickets sold in Georgia and the United Kingdom matched the five white balls for $1 million each, according to the drawing reports. Everyone else is looking at Monday, November 2, when the jackpot stands at an estimated $793 million with a cash option of approximately $339.9 million. The drawing is held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, 9:59 p.m. Chicago time.
Illinois players do not have to imagine what a win looks like. The jackpot was last won on August 12, when a ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois, hit an estimated $1.04 billion — the prize that started the current run of rollovers. The odds of matching all five white balls plus the Powerball remain 1 in 292,201,338, and drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
