Seventeen Players Won Prizes of $50,000-100,000

The Wednesday Powerball drawing had players competing for a jackpot of $723 million with an estimated cash value of $310.2 million. While the prize’s stellar growth continues to attract players, tempting them with promises of a life-changing payout, the reality of yesterday’s jackpot was that no jackpot winners were produced.

Winning the jackpot requires players to match five white numbers of between 1 and 69 and the Powerball of between 1 and 26. The winning numbers drawn on October 28, 2026, were 11, 13, 16, 47, and 60, plus the red Powerball 13. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.

In addition to not granting the jackpot, the Wednesday drawing had no Match 5 winners either. For context, players who match all five white numbers can win a prize of $1 million (or $2 million if the optional Power Play feature is active).

However, the drawing ended up awarding seventeen prizes to players who matched four white numbers and the Powerball. Fourteen of these won $50,000 each, while the remaining three scooped up $100,000 each, thanks to Power Play.

In the meantime, the Powerball jackpot continued to grow, with current estimates putting it at $760 million with a cash value of $326 million. The next drawing is set to take place this Saturday, October 31, providing players with another chance to win the top prize.

The Recent Powerball Drawings Have Created Many Millionaires

In the meantime, Powerball continued to award big prizes to its players. The Powerball drawing that took place on October 26 saw two players match all five white numbers. These included a player in Florida and a player in Georgia and, since neither of them had Power Play active, both won $1 million.

The drawing before that had no Match 5 winners, but awarded some 30 tier-three prizes of up to $100,000 to the players.

The October 21 drawing, on the other hand, resulted in even more big wins, which included a lucky player in New Jersey who won $1 million, as well as players in Ohio and Pennsylvania who won $2 million each.
