The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $687 million for Monday, October 26, 2026, after no ticket matched all six winning numbers in Saturday night’s drawing.
Monday’s jackpot has an estimated cash value of $294.7 million, giving players the option to take a one-time payment instead of the advertised annuity prize.
The winning numbers for Saturday, October 24, were 4, 5, 15, 19 and 55, with a red Powerball of 19. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
According to Powerball, no ticket won the jackpot, and no tickets won the $1 million Match 5 prize.
The jackpot has continued growing since August 12, when a ticket sold in Illinois won $1.04 billion.
Here’s what players need to know about Monday’s drawing, including the scheduled time, ticket deadlines,
and potential payouts.
What Time Is the Powerball Drawing Tonight, October 26?
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday, October 26, at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Powerball holds drawings three nights a week:
- Monday at 10:59 p.m. ET
- Wednesday at 10:59 p.m. ET
- Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET
After Monday’s drawing, the next regularly scheduled drawing will take place Wednesday, October 28.
Players can check their numbers through official Powerball and state lottery websites once the results become available.
How Much Is the $687 Million Powerball Jackpot Worth in Cash?
Monday’s advertised Powerball jackpot is an estimated $687 million, but the winner would not receive that entire amount in a single payment.
A jackpot winner can choose between two payment options.
The annuity option provides 30 graduated payments over 29 years.
The lump-sum option provides an estimated $294.7 million in a single payment.
Both amounts are advertised before federal and applicable state or jurisdictional taxes.
The jackpot’s final value may change based on ticket sales and other factors before the drawing.
What Is the Deadline to Buy a Powerball Ticket Tonight?
Players must purchase their tickets before the cutoff time established by their state lottery.
Powerball ticket-sale deadlines vary by jurisdiction and generally fall one to two hours before the scheduled drawing.
That means customers should not assume they can purchase a ticket immediately before the 10:59 p.m. ET drawing.
Players should check their local lottery’s official website or an authorized retailer for the exact cutoff time.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2 per play.
Players can also purchase the optional Power Play feature for an additional $1.
Power Play increases eligible non-jackpot prizes, with the Match 5 plus Power Play prize worth $2 million.
What Are the Odds of Winning the $687 Million Powerball Jackpot?
Players must match five white balls and the red Powerball to win the jackpot.
To play, participants select five numbers between 1 and 69 and one red Powerball number between 1 and 26.
They can select their own numbers or use a lottery terminal’s random number generator.
The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million.
Powerball offers nine prize categories, ranging from matching only the red Powerball to matching all six numbers.
The game is available in 45 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Ticket sales also expanded to the United Kingdom on July 21, 2026.
When Was the Last Powerball Jackpot Won?
The last Powerball jackpot winner purchased a ticket in Illinois for the August 12 drawing.
That ticket matched all six numbers and won a $1.04 billion jackpot, the eighth-largest prize in Powerball history.
Since then, no ticket has matched all six numbers to claim another jackpot.
Monday’s $687 million drawing gives players another opportunity to win the growing prize, with the winning numbers scheduled to be drawn at 10:59 p.m. ET.
