Saturday night’s Powerball drawing produced the numbers 9, 44, 49, 51 and 68, with a Powerball of 4, and the jackpot rolled over to an estimated $76 million for Monday night’s draw.

The November 14 drawing, held at 10:59 p.m. ET, carried a $66 million jackpot, according to LotteryCorner and LotteryUSA, with a 2x Power Play multiplier. The Double Play numbers were 15, 25, 30, 32 and 67, with a Powerball of 1.

A Quick Reset After the $847 Million Win

The current jackpot run began from a reset. Powerball reset to $20 million on Saturday, November 7, after a single ticket sold at the Wegmans Food Market in Montvale, New Jersey, matched all six numbers on Wednesday, November 4, to claim $847 million. The winning numbers that night were 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56, with a red Powerball of 21 and a 2x Power Play.

Since the reset, the jackpot has rolled over three times, climbing from $20 million to $66 million for Saturday’s draw and now to $76 million for Monday, November 16 — a $10 million jump in a single rollover, according to LotteryCorner’s results feed.

The Odds Stay Brutal

Powerball is drawn three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET — from five white balls numbered 1 to 69 and one red Powerball numbered 1 to 26. The odds of hitting the jackpot on a $2 ticket are 1 in 292,201,338, and the $1 Power Play add-on multiplies non-jackpot prizes — Saturday’s multiplier was 2x. Drawings take place in the Florida Lottery’s draw studio in Tallahassee, supervised by lottery security staff and observed by an independent accounting firm, and results are not official until they have been checked and certified.

Players should check their tickets carefully: lower-tier prizes, including the $1 million prize for matching all five white balls without the Powerball, are won far more often than the jackpot. Always verify results through official lottery channels before claiming any prize, and remember that claim deadlines vary by state.
