Nobody matched all six numbers Wednesday night, so the Powerball jackpot gets a Halloween drawing.
The estimated Powerball jackpot for Saturday, Oct. 31, is $760 million, with a cash value of $326 million. That’s up $37 million from the $723 million that went unclaimed Wednesday.
The drawing is at 10:59 p.m. EDT. It’s the 34th drawing in a run that began after a ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois, hit for $1.04 billion on Aug. 12.
Wednesday’s winning numbers were 11, 13, 16, 47 and 60, with a Powerball of 13 and a 2x Power Play. Nobody matched the five white balls for the $1 million prize, either.
Seventeen tickets came within one ball, though. Those players matched four white balls and the Powerball for $50,000. Three of them added Power Play, which doubled the prize to $100,000.

At $760 million, Saturday’s jackpot sits just outside the top 10 on Powerball’s list of its largest jackpots.
It’s also the second-largest Powerball jackpot of 2026. Only the Illinois win in August, the eighth-largest in the game’s history, was bigger.
Next on the list is the $768.4 million won by a single ticket in Wisconsin on March 27, 2019, at No. 10. Saturday’s estimate is $8.4 million short of it.
Powerball builds its estimates on projected sales, so the advertised figure can still change before the drawing.
Has Powerball had a big Halloween drawing before?
Yes, and nobody won that one, either.
On Oct. 31, 2022, Powerball drew for an estimated $1 billion jackpot on Halloween night after 37 drawings without a grand prize winner. No ticket matched all six numbers, and the jackpot grew to $1.2 billion for the next drawing, the Associated Press reported.
That run wasn’t done growing. A single ticket sold in Altadena, California, won the Nov. 7, 2022, drawing for $2.04 billion. It remains the largest jackpot in Powerball history, nearly four years later.
Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot Saturday?
The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 24.9, per Powerball.
Tickets are $2. Seventeen people got within one ball Wednesday and went home with $50,000 or $100,000, not $723 million. That’s how thin the margin is, even when you’re close.
The last time Powerball held a Halloween drawing this big, the treat came a week late.
