Powerball announced the winning numbers from its October 10 drawing, awarding a jackpot worth $516 million before taxes to participants across the United States. The drawing produced the numbers 15-19-33-51-4 with Powerball 1 and Powerplay 2x, according to the lottery.

The jackpot offered a cash option of $211.6 million before federal and jurisdictional taxes, according to Powerball. Winners can choose between a single payment or an annuity paid through 30 graduated installments over 29 years.

The latest jackpot followed a $1.04 billion prize won by a ticket sold in Illinois on August 12, according to the lottery. Earlier in 2026, winners included players in Florida and Texas who shared a $20 million prize from the May 2 drawing.

Another winning ticket was sold in Indiana and Kansas, where two players shared a $143.4 million jackpot on April 29, according to the lottery. Additional jackpot winners included a Delaware player who won $230.8 million on April 6 and an Arkansas player who won $250.8 million on March 2.

The winner featured in Powerball's promotional video about the largest prize in history described the reaction to the win.

"I am surprised and ecstatic," the Powerball jackpot winner said.

Powerball rules require players to select five numbers from 1 to 59 and one additional Powerball number from 1 to 26. Players can choose numbers manually or use a random selection option, according to the lottery.

The lottery states that prizes are available through nine winning combinations. The jackpot requires matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball number.

A Powerball ticket costs $2 per play, while the Powerplay option can increase non-jackpot winnings. The lottery states that Idaho and Montana include Powerplay with a minimum ticket price of $3 per play.
