Jackpot and winners

Here's what Powerball reported for the October 7 drawing:

• Advertised jackpot: an estimated $485 million (annuity), with a cash value of about $199.7 million.
• Jackpot winners: none. No ticket matched all five white balls plus the Powerball.
• Match 5 ($1 million, or $2 million with Power Play): no winners.
• Match 4 + Powerball: eight tickets won the $50,000 prize, and three more had Power Play, which doubled their prize to $100,000.

Thousands of smaller prizes were won too, from $4 for matching just the Powerball up to $100 (or $200 with Power Play) for matching four white balls or three white balls plus the Powerball. Check powerball.com for the full winners table.

Next drawing: Saturday, October 10, 2026

Because the jackpot wasn't won, it grew. As of October 9, Powerball lists the next drawing as Saturday, October 10, 2026, with an estimated jackpot of $516 million and a cash value of about $212.6 million.

Drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. ET. Ticket sales close earlier, and the cutoff depends on your state, so check your local lottery's rules. Jackpot estimates can change before the drawing as sales come in. For more on timing, see our guide to Powerball drawing days, times and ticket cutoffs.

A quick look at the draw (trivia only)

The patterns below are fun to notice, but they mean nothing for future drawings. Every Powerball drawing is random and independent. Any five white balls and any Powerball have exactly the same chance of being drawn next time, and no number is ever "due."

• Odd and even: four odd numbers (11, 13, 21, 65) and one even number (14).
• Low and high: using 1–34 as "low" and 35–69 as "high," four numbers were low and only 65 was high.
• Sum: the five white balls add up to 124.
• Consecutive numbers: 13 and 14 were drawn together.
• Spread: the gap between the lowest (11) and highest (65) white ball was 54.
• Double Play: the separate Double Play drawing also had a consecutive pair (17 and 18). It had three low numbers (17, 18, 23) and two high ones (66, 69), and its white balls add up to 193.

Reading the numbers this way is a bit like reading a coin-toss log. It describes what happened. It doesn't predict anything.

Prize tiers reminder

Powerball has nine ways to win. Here's what each one pays in a standard drawing. The Power Play column shows what this drawing's 2x multiplier did to non-jackpot prizes for players who added it.

California pays non-jackpot prizes on a pari-mutuel basis, so amounts there can differ. Double Play has its own prize table, with a top cash prize of $10 million. For a full explanation of every tier and its odds, see our Powerball prize chart and Power Play explained.

How to check your ticket

Follow these steps to check a ticket from the October 7 drawing:

1. Confirm the date. Make sure the ticket is for Wednesday, October 7, 2026. If it's a multi-draw ticket, check which drawings it covers.
2. Compare the white balls. Your five white numbers can match the drawn ones in any order.
3. Compare the Powerball separately. Your red Powerball only counts if it matches the red ball drawn, which was 19. A 19 among your white balls doesn't count as a Powerball match.
4. Check the add-ons. If you bought Power Play, multiply any non-jackpot prize by 2 (Match 5 becomes $2 million). If you bought Double Play, check the same numbers against 17, 18, 23, 66, 69 and Powerball 1.
5. Scan it at a retailer or in your lottery's app. Most state lotteries offer a ticket checker, and a retailer's terminal will confirm whether the ticket won.

Sign the back of any winning ticket right away, and keep it somewhere safe. A paper ticket is usually treated as a bearer instrument, which means whoever holds it can claim it.

Claim deadline reminder

Each state lottery sets its own deadline for claiming prizes, and the clock starts on the drawing date. Deadlines vary from state to state, so look up the rule for the state where you bought the ticket. Larger prizes usually have to be claimed at a lottery office rather than a store. And for prizes over $5,000, 24% federal tax is withheld for U.S. citizens. Our step-by-step guide on how to claim a Powerball prize explains the process.
