Single New Jersey Ticket Wins $847 Million Powerball
A single ticket sold in New Jersey matched all six numbers in the Wednesday drawing to win an estimated $847 million Powerball jackpot, according to the company. The winning numbers were 15, 34, 41, 53, 56, and red Powerball 21, with a Power Play multiplier of 2x. This massive prize ranks among the top 10 jackpots in the game's history and marks the second biggest lottery prize of 2026 so far, surpassing an $800 million Mega Millions jackpot won in Florida in July.
Why it matters
The jackpot win ends a run of 35 drawings without a top-prize winner. While the advertised jackpot is estimated at $847 million, the winner will take home a much smaller amount after taxes and payout elections. A separate Powerball ticket in Kansas also won a big prize on Halloween night that remains unclaimed.
