American lottery game Powerball offers an estimated $516 million jackpot for the drawing scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2026, held in Tallahassee, Florida. The grand prize rolled over after no ticket matched all six numbers drawn on Wednesday, October 7, marking the 25th consecutive drawing without a top-tier winner.
A single winner holding the ticket can select either thirty annual installments over twenty-nine years or an immediate cash payout. The preliminary lump-sum cash option sits at $212.6 million prior to mandatory tax deductions. For non-resident aliens participating outside the United States, the federal government applies a mandatory 30% withholding tax on lottery winnings.
Results and winning combination from the previous Wednesday drawing
The previous drawing took place on Wednesday, October 7, inside the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee. Officials selected the winning combination under strict auditing procedures to guarantee total transparency.

How international players enter the drawing through courier services
United States federal regulations permit foreign citizens and non-residents to purchase tickets and claim official prizes legally. International participants, including residents in Brazil, routinely use online ticket courier services such as TheLotter to participate. These specialized agencies purchase physical entries at licensed American retailers on behalf of the client and upload a scanned copy of the original ticket to the player’s account.
Standard physical tickets cost $2 per line across licensed retail shops in the United States. Online courier services charge approximately $5 per play line to cover purchase handling, digital document storage, and administrative costs.

Mark Michalko, executive director of the North Carolina Education Lottery, highlighted the recent momentum across American multi-state games. Michalko confirmed that both Powerball and Mega Millions have generated continuous player engagement and major wins across participating states, expressing enthusiasm for ticket holders ahead of the weekend extraction.
Ticket sales will continue across participating lottery retailers until the official cutoff on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Heavy ticket volume before the drawing deadline may cause the final estimated jackpot to increase before the balls are drawn.
