The Powerball jackpot has soared to an impressive $592 million for the upcoming drawing on Wednesday, November 19, as no players claimed the top prize during the previous draw on November 17.
Should a ticket match all five numbers plus the Powerball in the 11 p.m. ET drawing, the winner has the option to receive a one-time cash payment of $277.3 million before taxes. This significant jackpot follows a recent win in Georgia, where a fortunate player claimed a nearly $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot on November 14 with a ticket purchased in Newnan that matched all six numbers, totaling $983 million.
For those eagerly awaiting the results, the winning numbers for the Powerball drawing on November 19 are 10, 31, 49, 51, 68, and the Powerball is 19, with a “Power Play” multiplier of 2x. However, in the latest drawing, no one won the Powerball jackpot or the Match 5 + Power Play $2 million prize. One player in New Jersey, however, celebrated a $1 million win by matching five numbers.
The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, November 22, shortly after 11 p.m. ET.
Historically, the top Powerball jackpots make for impressive figures, with the largest reaching $2.04 billion on November 7, 2022. Other notable jackpots include $1.787 billion in September 2025 and $1.765 billion in October 2023, showing that lottery players still have a chance to change their lives with a lucky ticket.
To play Powerball, individuals can purchase a ticket for $2 at various locations, including convenience stores, gas stations, and sometimes online in certain states. Players choose six numbers: five from a selection of white balls numbered 1 to 69 and one red Powerball ranging from 1 to 26. The option to add a “Power Play” for an additional $1 can multiply any winnings for non-jackpot prizes, making it a popular choice among players. For those unsure about their luck, a “Quick Pick” option allows for a randomly generated set of numbers.
Tickets can be bought not only in person but also through the Jackpocket app, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, available in numerous states. This app enables users to select their lottery games and manage their tickets and winnings conveniently via their smartphones or computers.
With such enormous jackpots on the line, lottery players remain hopeful, as every draw offers the chance for life-changing sums.
