Powerball Jackpot Reaches $485 Million for Oct. 7 Drawing
The Powerball lottery jackpot climbed to an estimated $485 million with a cash option of $199.8 million for the drawing on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. This follows earlier drawings that failed to produce a winner for the September 12 jackpot.
