After the massive $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, the prize for Saturday, Nov. 1, 2025, stood at $400 million. Players wonder if a winner will emerge before daylight savings or after Halloween, and if a $2 ticket could transform someone into a multimillionaire. As is often said in the lottery world,
“it could happen to you.”
The jackpot increased to $400 million for the Saturday drawing after no one matched all five numbers plus the Powerball on Wednesday, Oct. 29. The current jackpot rolled over 21 times since resetting to $20 million on Sept. 31 (Halloween).
The winning numbers on Saturday, Nov. 1, were 2-26-43-44-62 with the Powerball 22. This drawing also resulted in a rollover, raising the jackpot for Monday to $419 million, with a cash option of $198 million.
Meanwhile, Mega Millions grew to $800 million for Tuesday, Nov. 4, up from $754 million, but before then, the $400 million Powerball was the main prize to watch.
The one-time cash option for the $400 million Powerball jackpot was estimated at $189 million online.
The Powerball jackpot on Nov. 1, 2025, hit $400 million with notable million-dollar winners, continuing a series of rollovers since late September.
