Winning Powerball Numbers: 2, 4, 18, 50, 56 and Powerball 20 — No Winner, and the Jackpot Climbs Toward $800 Million

The winning numbers for the Saturday, October 31 Powerball drawing were 2, 4, 18, 50 and 56, with a red Powerball of 20 and a Power Play multiplier of 3x, USA TODAY reported. The Halloween drawing offered an estimated $760 million jackpot with a cash value of $325.7 million — and no ticket matched all six numbers, Parade reported in the early hours of Sunday, sending the prize rolling again.

The next drawing is Monday, November 2, at about 10:59 p.m. Eastern. The official estimate carried into Sunday morning put that jackpot at $793 million with a cash value of $339.9 million, a figure Parade rounded to approximately $800 million — either way, within one more roll of the billion-dollar line. Saturday's drawing was the latest in a long climb: Wednesday's numbers, 11, 13, 16, 47 and 60 with a Powerball of 13, also produced no jackpot winner.

There were still seven-figure tickets out there. A Florida ticket was among two that matched all five white balls for a $1 million prize, TCPalm reported. For Texas players, the routine is the same as always: check the full line — five numbers plus the Powerball — against Saturday's result before the ticket leaves the counter, because the $1 million tier needs only the five white balls, and Monday's draw closes sales on the usual schedule Monday evening.
