The Powerball jackpot is on the move again after another drawing came and went without a grand prize winner.
No ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing, pushing the jackpot for Oct. 5 to an estimated $467 million, with a cash value of $192.4 million.
The last jackpot winner was an Illinois player who hit the estimated $1.040 billion Powerball prize on Aug. 12, ending one of the game’s biggest runs. That jackpot ranks among the largest in Powerball history.
Here’s what to know before Monday night’s drawing.
What are the winning numbers for the Oct. 5 Powerball drawing?
The winning numbers for the Oct. 5 Powerball drawing are 16, 23, 32, 36, 54, and the Powerball is 9. The “Power Play” multiplier is 2x.
When is the next Powerball drawing?
The next Powerball drawing is set for Wednesday, Oct. 7, at about 10:59 p.m. ET.
Players can watch the drawing live on Powerball’s website and view past drawings on the game’s official YouTube channel.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

How to play Powerball
Powerball tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Depending on local laws, players may also be able to purchase tickets online.
To play, select five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. Players can also add Power Play for an extra $1 to boost non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x.
Prefer to leave it to chance? Choose a Quick Pick and let the computer generate your numbers.
To win the jackpot, a ticket must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. If no one wins, the jackpot rolls over and continues to grow.
Do you have to be a US citizen or resident to play Powerball?
You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or resident to buy a Powerball ticket.
Anyone who meets the legal age requirement where the ticket is purchased, generally 18 or older, can play while visiting a participating jurisdiction. Winners who live outside the United States are eligible to claim prizes, although taxes may apply.
