Powerball Jackpot Hits $600 Million for Saturday
The winning numbers were 12-13-24-32-35, and the estimated cash option is $252.7 million, according to Powerball.com.
On Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, the Powerball lottery drawing produced no jackpot winner, with numbers 12-13-24-32-35 and Powerball 11, pushing the estimated prize to $600 million.
Powerball drawings occur three times weekly at 10:59 p.m. ET on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, with the next scheduled for Monday, Oct. 19, 2026. Drawings are broadcast live on the official lottery website.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, offering players 1 in 292.2 million odds at the jackpot. Players select five white balls from 1 to 69 and one red ball from 1 to 26.
Saturday's Power Play multiplier was 3X, allowing players to boost non-jackpot winnings by adding $1 per ticket. Multipliers range from 2X to 10X depending on the drawing.
While the $600 million prize is substantial, it remains below the record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in California on Nov. 7, 2022, the largest in lottery history.
