Powerball Winning Numbers for November 2: 7, 23, 29, 64, 66 — and Nobody Won the $793 Million

The numbers are in, and the jackpot survives Election Eve. In Monday night's Powerball drawing — held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern, hours after this desk's preview file closed — the winning numbers were 7, 23, 29, 64 and 66, with the Powerball 23 and a Power Play multiplier of 4x. The jackpot stood at an estimated $793 million, with a cash option of $339.9 million, according to the Powerball website figures carried in the results reports.

No one won it. The Asbury Park Press's results report states it plainly — no ticket matched all six numbers in Monday's drawing — which means the run that began after the last jackpot was hit continues into the biggest week of the fall. State lottery result pages put the early estimate for Wednesday's jackpot at $803.9 million. The next drawing is Wednesday, November 4; Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee and streamed on Powerball.com.

Monday's drawing was the one the weekend built toward: Saturday's Halloween drawing (2, 4, 18, 50, 56, Powerball 20) produced no jackpot winner and no five-number winner either, lifting the prize from $760 million to $793 million for Monday. New Yorkers who bought tickets for Monday night should check them against all the prize tiers, not just the top one — matching five white balls without the Powerball is a million-dollar prize on its own, and the 4x Power Play multiplies the non-jackpot prizes for tickets that bought the add-on.

The desk reports the numbers exactly as the four independent result reports read this run carried them, and they agree digit for digit. What none of them can tell any individual reader is the only question that matters tonight — whether the ticket in their pocket is the one that ends the roll on Wednesday.
