Powerball Jackpot Jumps to $419 Million — Will Luck Strike This Time?

Powerball Jackpot Climbs Again — Could You Be the Next Millionaire?

Lottery fever’s back and hotter than ever. With no winner in Saturday’s $400 million Powerball drawing (Nov. 1), the jackpot shot up overnight to $419 million for Monday, Nov. 3 — or a tempting $198 million cash option.

The last time someone hit the jackpot was Sept. 6, when two lucky tickets from Texas and Missouri split a jaw-dropping $1.787 billion prize. Since then, Powerball has rolled over 22 times — talk about a streak!

?? What to know:

• Tickets start at just $2.

• Drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 11 p.m. ET, even on holidays.

• Your odds? A cool 1 in 292.2 million — same whether the jackpot’s $20 million or $2 billion.

And Powerball isn’t the only game bringing heat. After a Halloween rollover, Mega Millions climbed to a massive $800 million for Tuesday night’s draw.

Saturday’s winning Powerball numbers — 2, 26, 43, 44, 62, and Powerball 22 — didn’t crown a jackpot winner, but one lucky ticket in Pennsylvania scored a cool $1 million by matching five numbers.

? Fun fact: The current Powerball run started right after that historic Texas-Missouri win, with the jackpot climbing steadily each draw since Sept. 8.

If you’re in Florida, remember — winners have 180 days to claim prizes (60 days for the lump-sum cash option). Florida law doesn’t allow total anonymity, but jackpot winners of $250,000+ get a 90-day privacy window before their names go public.

And if you’re wondering just how high these prizes can go — the record stands tall:

• ? $2.04 billion Powerball (Nov. 2022, California)

• ? $1.787 billion Powerball (Sept. 2025, Texas & Missouri)

• ? $1.73 billion Powerball (Oct. 2023, California)

So grab your ticket, cross your fingers, and maybe — just maybe — this time it could happen to you.
