Did Anyone Win Monday's Powerball? Oct. 31 Winning Numbers And Wednesday's New Jackpot
The Monday Powerball drawing did not have any jackpot winners for the $1 billion grand prize, with a cash option of $497.3 million.
The Wednesday night drawing will grow to $1.2 billion, with a $596.7 million cash value. If won, the value would be the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history, behind the $1.586 billion jackpot, which was won on Jan. 13, 2016, and split between winners from three different states.
The Monday night lottery drawing numbers were 13, 19, 36, 39, and 59, with a red Powerball of 13. The Power Play was 3X.
Although there were no grand prize Powerball winners, several ticket holders across the country picked up notable prizes, including 13 instant millionaires.
Two players from California, one from Florida, one from Michigan, one from Indiana, one from Michigan, two from Ohio, and two from Texas, matched all five white balls and won $1 million each.
Ticket holders in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma hit the Match 5 with a Power Play, winning $2 million a piece.
While a whopping 134 players each snagged a $50,000 prize by hitting the Match 4 with the red Powerball, 23 players won $150,000 by adding a Power Play to their purchase.
More than 5.4 million tickets won prizes at all levels from the Monday night drawing, totaling $59.5 million.
There have been 38 consecutive Powerball drawings since the last jackpot was won on Aug. 3 in Pennsylvania.
To become a Powerball jackpot winner, players need to match the six numbers on their ticket to the drawn six-number combination.

Winners can select a lump sum payment or an annuity, which includes one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.
Powerball tickets are available for purchase in participating territories for $2 each. The drawings for the game take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays and can be viewed on local networks.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is a 1 in 292.2 million chance.
