847 Million Powerball Jackpot Won in New Jersey

A player in New Jersey matched all six numbers in the November 4 drawing to win Powerball's seventh jackpot of 2026. The winner has not yet come forward to claim the prize. The prize is 847 million dollars and can be taken as an annuity paid in annual installments, or the cash option of 363.1 million dollars can be chosen.

The drawing produced the numbers 15, 34, 41, 53, 56 and the Powerball 21. The Power Play multiplier was 2x. The amount won is one of the ten largest prizes in the game's history. The jackpot also ended a streak of 35 drawings without a jackpot winner.

Powerball Product Group President Stephen Durrell said that player interest rises when a jackpot reaches this level, and that ticket sales in the last week show this. In his view, every ticket sold grows the jackpot while also contributing to public services in local communities.

No one matched all five white balls in the November 4 drawing. The 25 people who matched four white balls and the Powerball each won 50 thousand dollars. Thanks to Power Play, 4 people in the same category won 100 thousand dollars.

Finally, after the jackpot was won, the top prize for Saturday's drawing was reset to 20 million dollars.
