The Halloween drawing produced in Tallahassee sent no one home rich: no ticket matched all six numbers, none even matched five, and Monday night's jackpot stands at an estimated $793 million.
Check the Halloween tickets one more time. The winning Powerball numbers for Saturday, October 31 were 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with a red Powerball of 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x - and nobody hit them. The Multi-State Lottery Association, which conducts the game, announced that no ticket sold matched all six numbers, and no ticket matched the five white balls either, so the jackpot rolls again.
Monday night's drawing, on November 2 at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, now carries an estimated $793 million jackpot, up from the estimated $760 million offered on Saturday. It will be the 34th drawing since the jackpot was last won, on August 12, when a ticket sold in Illinois claimed an estimated $1.04 billion. The odds of matching all five white balls plus the Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million, though the overall chance of winning any prize is 1 in 24.9.
The drawing has a Tallahassee address. Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday night from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, which means the biggest lottery prize in the country this week will once again be produced in Florida's capital city - and Florida players will be watching numbers drawn a few miles from the Capitol to see whether the run ends here.
