Nobody won on Halloween, so the Powerball jackpot keeps climbing. After Saturday night’s drawing produced no jackpot winner, the prize for Monday, November 2, is estimated at $793 million — with a $339.9 million cash option.
Saturday’s winning numbers were 2, 4, 18, 50, 56, with a Powerball of 20 and a Power Play of 3x. It was the 35th drawing in a row without a jackpot winner, stretching back to August 12, when a ticket in Quincy, Illinois, hit for $1.04 billion.
There were near-misses. Three tickets matched all five white balls but missed the Powerball — including one sold in the U.K. — and 36 tickets matched four white balls plus the Powerball, worth $50,000 each or $150,000 with the Power Play.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Tickets cost $2, and the odds of hitting the jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million. Mega Millions is climbing too: its Tuesday jackpot sits at an estimated $482 million, with a $203.6 million cash option.
Monday night’s drawing could crown the first jackpot winner in more than two months — or keep the rollover streak, and the prize, rolling toward the billion mark.
