Powerball jackpot soars to $1.2B, second largest in game’s history

FAN Editor

The Powerball jackpot reached an estimated $1.2 billion ahead of the Wednesday drawing

The jackpot rolled after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Halloween night. 

The white balls were 13, 19, 36, 39 and 59, and the red Powerball was 13. 

If someone wins the Wednesday jackpot — a cash value of $596.7 million — it will be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history and Powerball’s largest prize in more than six years.

POWERBALL WINNING NUMBERS DRAWN FOR $1B JACKPOT

The Powerball jackpot was last hit on Aug. 3 in Pennsylvania and there have been 38 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner since then.

More than 5.4 million tickets won cash prizes totaling $59.5 million on Monday. 

Tickets in California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Texas matched all five white balls to win a $1 million prize.
