Powerball Jackpot Reaches Estimated $400 Million for November 1 Drawing

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Powerball jackpot has climbed to an estimated $400 million ahead of the drawing on Saturday, November 1, 2025. This amount includes a cash option of $189 million for winners who prefer a lump-sum payment.

On Wednesday night, the winning numbers for the Powerball drawing were 2, 26, 43, 44, 62, and the Powerball was 22. No ticket matched all numbers, allowing the jackpot to grow. The next drawing will take place on Monday, November 3, at 10:59 p.m. ET.

Powerball, which has become famous for its life-changing prizes, requires players to select five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. A single ticket costs $2, and players can add the Power Play feature for an additional dollar, potentially multiplying non-jackpot prizes from two to ten times.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. Tickets can be purchased until 9:59 p.m. on the night of the draw, varying slightly by state.

This latest drawing marks a continuation of a streak that began with a previous win on September 6, 2025, where tickets purchased in Missouri and Texas shared a staggering $1.787 billion prize.

For those interested in the exciting world of lotteries, the overall prize chart and additional rules can be found on the official Powerball website.
