Winning Powerball Numbers for Saturday, Oct. 31: No Winner, and Monday's Jackpot Climbs to $793 Million
The Halloween drawing produced the numbers 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with Powerball 20 and a 3x Power Play — but no ticket matched all six, so the jackpot rolls to an estimated $793 million for Monday.
No ticket matched all six numbers in the Saturday, Oct. 31 Powerball drawing, and the jackpot that had reached an estimated $770 million by drawing time rolls on to Monday night. The winning numbers were 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with the red Powerball 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x, according to Powerball results reported by NorthJersey.com and corroborated by USA Today network papers and the Detroit Free Press.
Three tickets matched all five white balls and missed only the Powerball. A ticket sold in North Carolina that carried the Power Play is worth $2 million, while tickets sold in Georgia and the United Kingdom matched the five white balls for $1 million each, the Free Press reported. Another 36 tickets matched four white balls plus the Powerball.
The jackpot was last won on Aug. 12, when a ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois, hit for $1.04 billion, and Monday's drawing will be the 35th since then. Monday's estimated $793 million jackpot carries a cash option of approximately $339.9 million. In New Jersey, tickets cost $2 and sales close at 9:59 p.m. on drawing day; the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338. The next drawing is Monday, Nov. 2, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern.
