The details

One Georgia ticket matched all five white-ball numbers to win $1 million, while another matched four white balls and the Powerball for $50,000. The jackpot remains unclaimed and will carry over to the next drawing.

Oct. 31: Powerball drawing produced two Georgia winners and no jackpot winner.
Monday: Next Powerball drawing, with an estimated jackpot of $793 million.
Tuesday: Mega Millions drawing, with an estimated jackpot of $482 million.

Market Landscape

The Oct. 31 rollover follows the Illinois player's $1.4 billion Powerball jackpot on Aug. 12 and the Florida player's $800 million Mega Millions win on July 28. Together these results show jackpots climbing to record-scale amounts across the two national games.

Players in Georgia can check their tickets against the posted numbers for each drawing before the jackpot changes hands. With both jackpots growing, buyers may want to weigh the cost of additional tickets against the odds of 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball.

The takeaway

Lottery prizes at this scale are rare, and most ticket purchases return no winnings. Players who play for entertainment should set a budget before each drawing.

What happens next

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Monday with an estimated jackpot of $793 million, and the Mega Millions drawing is set for Tuesday with an estimated $482 million jackpot.
