Numbers drawn in Powerball on November 1st add up to US$400 million with no main winner
The Powerball draw held on the night of Saturday, November 1, 2025, in the United States, did not register winners of the main prize estimated at US$400 million. The numbers drawn were 2, 26, 43, 44, and 62, with the red Powerball ball at 22. The event took place at 10:59 pm ET in Tallahassee, Florida, due to the absence of winners in the previous drawing on Wednesday, October 29.
A ticket sold in Pennsylvania matched the five main numbers and guaranteed $1 million. The Power Play multiplier, drawn as 2x, benefited secondary prizes in several states. The jackpot rolls over to the next draw due to the lottery’s progressive roll mechanic.
Here are the main prizes distributed in the draw:
- Match 5: $1 million in Pennsylvania.
- Match 4 + Powerball: Multiple wins of US$50,000 multiplied by 2x.
- Match 4: $100 Prizes in Multiple States.
