Power Ball players will have another chance at a massive prize after no ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing. The estimated jackpot has now climbed to $687 million, putting the game within striking distance of the $700 million mark.
The next drawing is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 26, at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The winner may choose the advertised annuity or an estimated lump-sum cash option worth $294.7 million, before taxes.
Power Ball Jackpot Surges After Saturday’s Drawing
According to USA TODAY, the Oct. 24 drawing ended without a jackpot winner. No ticket matched all five white balls and the red Powerball, allowing the top prize to roll over once again.
The latest winning numbers were:
- White balls: 4, 5, 15, 19 and 55
- Powerball: 19
- Power Play: 2X
There were also no Match 5 tickets that included the Power Play feature. While the jackpot remained untouched, many players still won smaller prizes by matching combinations of the drawn numbers.
When Is the Next Power Ball Drawing?
The next Power Ball drawing will take place Monday night at 10:59 p.m. ET. Drawings are held three times each week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
The jackpot will continue to grow if no player matches every required number. Players should check their tickets carefully after each drawing because lower-tier prizes can still be substantial, even when the top prize goes unclaimed.
How to Play and What the Cash Option Means
A Power Ball ticket costs $2 per play. Players select five white-ball numbers from 1 through 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 through 26. Those who prefer not to choose their own numbers can use a Quick Pick, which generates a random selection.
For an additional $1, players can add Power Play. This feature can multiply eligible non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or, in some cases, 10X. The Power Play option does not multiply the jackpot itself.
The advertised $687 million prize represents the estimated annuity value, paid over a period of years. The alternative cash option is currently estimated at $294.7 million. Both figures are presented before federal and, where applicable, state or local taxes.
Biggest Power Ball Jackpots in History
The current prize is sizable, but it remains below several record-setting Power Ball jackpots. The largest was a remarkable $2.04 billion, won in California in November 2022.
Other historic prizes include:
- $1.817 billion won in Arkansas in December 2025
- $1.787 billion won in Missouri and Texas in September 2025
- $1.765 billion won in California in October 2023
- $1.586 billion split among winners in California, Florida and Tennessee in January 2016
The $687 million jackpot would rank among the larger prizes in the game’s history if a single ticket claims it Monday night.
Responsible Play Remains Important
Power Ball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on local regulations, online purchases may also be available. Players generally must meet the minimum legal age in the jurisdiction where they buy a ticket.
Lottery officials and consumer advocates emphasize that every number combination has the same mathematical chance of being drawn. There is no guaranteed strategy, and buying additional tickets does not ensure a win. Players should set a firm budget and treat the game as entertainment rather than a financial plan.
For Monday’s drawing, the central question is whether the growing jackpot will finally produce a winner—or roll toward an even larger prize later in the week.
