Powerball's Monday Drawing Is Worth an Estimated $793 Million — the 35th Drawing Since August's Billion-Dollar Hit
No ticket matched all six numbers on Halloween night, so the jackpot Florida players will chase at 10:59 p.m. Monday stands at an estimated $793 million, with a $339.9 million cash option — one of the biggest lottery prizes of 2026.
Monday night's Powerball drawing is worth an estimated $793 million. No ticket matched all six winning numbers in Saturday's Halloween drawing — the numbers were 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with a Powerball of 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x — so a jackpot that was advertised at $760 million most of last week, and pushed to $770 million by late ticket sales, rolls once more. The cash option for a Monday winner is $339.9 million, before taxes, against the $793 million paid out over time as an annuity.
The run behind the number is the story. The jackpot has been growing since August 12, when a ticket sold in Illinois claimed an estimated $1.04 billion prize; Monday's drawing, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, will be the 35th since then without a jackpot winner. At an estimated $793 million it now stands larger than the $768.4 million prize won in Wisconsin in 2019 that long sat in the game's all-time top ten, and it ranks among the biggest lottery prizes of 2026. The odds have not moved with the money: 1 in 292.2 million for the jackpot, on a $2 ticket.
Florida is one of the game's home states in every way that matters Monday — a Powerball state since 2009, with drawings watched live at 10:59 p.m. Eastern on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and a Tallahassee draw studio that hosts them. For Orlando players the practical facts are the small ones: tickets are $2, the estimate is an estimate until sales close and the drawing is held, and any large win is confirmed with the Florida Lottery before it is anything else. The numbers themselves land here Monday night, the night before Election Day — and if no ticket matches again, Wednesday's prize starts within sight of a billion.
