A single Powerball ticket sold in New Jersey won the $847 million jackpot in the Wednesday, November 4, 2026, drawing, according to Powerball’s November 5 announcement. The winning white-ball numbers were 15, 34, 41, 53, 56, and the red Powerball was 21. The Power Play multiplier was 2X. The announced jackpot cash option was $363.1 million before taxes. The organization reported one jackpot-winning ticket; the ticket holder’s identity and the exact sale location were not established by the sources checked for this article.
If you have a ticket from that drawing, checking all of its lines is worthwhile even if you did not match all six numbers. Powerball says more than one million tickets received cash prizes in the November 4 drawing. You can compare numbers on the official results page or use Powerball’s online number checker, but a website search does not replace validation of the actual ticket by the lottery that sold it.
The official November 4 Powerball results list 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56 as the five white balls and 21 as the red Powerball. Power Play was 2X. The drawing took place on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 10:59 p.m. in Tallahassee, Florida, Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00), which was Thursday, November 5, at 03:59 UTC.
Powerball’s November 5 jackpot announcement says the single jackpot-winning ticket was sold in New Jersey. It also reports 25 tickets that won $50,000 by matching four white balls and the red Powerball, plus four tickets with that combination and Power Play that won $100,000. These are drawing-wide figures, not a determination that any particular reader’s ticket is a winner.
You can also visit Powerball’s Check Your Numbers tool, choose Powerball, enter five white numbers and one red Powerball, select the relevant date range, and run the search. The tool says it displays combinations that would have won a prize within the selected dates. It is useful for looking up number combinations, but it cannot on its own prove that you purchased a valid, unexpired winning ticket. For older results, consult the official drawing archive.
No. Powerball confirms that the five white numbers may match in any order. What matters is the number of white-ball matches and whether the red Powerball matches. You cannot combine numbers from different lines on one ticket or from separate tickets to form one winning play.
There are nine winning combinations. The following are the standard U.S. base prizes for a single $2 Powerball play, before optional add-ons, applicable taxes, and any jurisdiction-specific rules. California uses pari-mutuel prizes, so its non-jackpot amounts may differ.
| White balls matched | Red Powerball matched? | Standard base prize |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Yes | Jackpot |
| 5 | No | $1,000,000 |
| 4 | Yes | $50,000 |
| 4 | No | $100 |
| 3 | Yes | $100 |
| 3 | No | $7 |
| 2 | Yes | $7 |
| 1 | Yes | $4 |
| 0 | Yes | $4 |
That means a ticket matching only the red Powerball can win $4, while matching one or two white balls without the red Powerball is not a prize-winning combination. Powerball lists the overall odds of winning any prize as about 1 in 24.87 and jackpot odds as 1 in 292,201,338. Review the official prize and odds chart for full details.
Power Play is an optional $1-per-play feature that multiplies eligible non-jackpot prizes. For the November 4 drawing the multiplier was 2X, so a standard $50,000 winning combination with Power Play was worth $100,000. Matching five white balls but not the red Powerball with Power Play is a fixed $2 million prize; Power Play never multiplies the jackpot itself. The 10X multiplier is only available when the advertised annuity jackpot is $150 million or less.
Double Play, where offered, is a separate optional $1-per-play drawing using the same set of numbers, with its own winning results and a top prize of $10 million. It is not the same as Power Play. If the ticket shows Double Play, check the separate Double Play drawing as well; a win in one drawing does not imply a win in the other. Power Play multipliers do not apply to Double Play prizes.
The next advertised drawing is Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 10:59 p.m. in Tallahassee, Florida, EST (UTC−05:00), equivalent to Sunday, November 8, at 03:59 UTC. Because daylight saving time ended in the United States on November 1, both the November 4 and November 7 drawings use EST, not EDT. After the jackpot win, Powerball posted an estimated $20 million annuity jackpot with an estimated $8.6 million cash value for November 7, both before taxes. Those are estimates and may be revised before the drawing. Sales cutoffs vary by lottery, so check the jurisdiction where you buy your ticket rather than assuming tickets are sold right up to 10:59 p.m.
Keep the original ticket secure, avoid posting its barcode or identifying details online, and follow the instructions of the lottery where it was purchased. A licensed retailer may usually pay prizes of up to $600 in the selling jurisdiction; larger prizes generally require a lottery office or headquarters. Prize claims must be made in the same state or jurisdiction that sold the ticket, not simply wherever you live now.
Deadlines are important. Powerball says winning ticket expiration periods commonly range from 90 days to one year depending on the selling jurisdiction. Read the back of your ticket and confirm the applicable deadline with your state lottery. If you believe you have a major prize, review that jurisdiction’s rules for claim procedures and winner disclosure before handing over or sharing the ticket. Cash and annuity jackpot choices are before federal and applicable jurisdictional taxes.
Beware of fraudulent messages that promise a prize in exchange for a processing fee. The official Powerball FAQs say lotteries do not ask players to pay a fee to collect winnings. Do not send money or banking credentials to someone claiming you won a drawing you did not enter.
Yes. Matching the red Powerball alone, with no white balls, wins a standard $4 prize. Check for any add-ons and jurisdiction-specific prize rules.
Yes. Use the official Powerball winning-number archive or Check Your Numbers tool. To confirm that a purchased ticket is valid and payable, follow the selling lottery’s official validation process.
It depends on where the ticket was purchased. Powerball says typical deadlines range from 90 days to one year. The selling lottery’s published expiration policy controls.
