The anticipation surrounding the lottery Powerball jackpot on Saturday, November 8, reached a fever pitch as millions of hopefuls across the United States awaited the results of the $467 million draw. The jackpot, which offered a one-time cash option of $218.1 million before taxes, went unclaimed after no ticket matched all six winning numbers.
According to the official Powerball results released late Saturday, the winning numbers for the November 8 drawing were 3, 53, 60, 62, and 68, with the Powerball number 11 and a Power Play multiplier of 2x, as per a report by App.
Despite the high turnout of players, no ticket holder won the grand jackpot, meaning the lottery Powerball jackpot will roll over once again. The next draw is scheduled for Monday, November 10, at 10:59 p.m. ET, giving players another chance to secure a multimillion-dollar win.
This marks yet another rollover in a series that has pushed the Powerball prize to its current level, following no jackpot winners in the November 5 drawing.
In New Jersey, for instance, both in-store and online ticket purchases are accepted until 9:59 p.m. on the night of the draw.
Each Powerball ticket costs $2, with an optional Power Play feature available for an additional $1 per play. The Power Play can multiply non-jackpot winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x, depending on the number drawn.
To win the jackpot, participants must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. Even if no one wins the top prize, smaller prizes are awarded for matching some of the numbers, and these winnings can be boosted if the Power Play option was purchased.
In New Jersey, for example, winners can submit their claims by mailing the winning ticket, a claim form, and a valid government-issued ID to:
New Jersey Lottery, Attn: Validations, PO Box 041, Trenton, NJ 08625-0041.
Alternatively, tickets and claim forms can be dropped off in person at the New Jersey Lottery’s Lawrence Park Complex office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The state provides a secure drop box for added convenience and safety.
For jackpot winners, the process is more complex. Winners must contact their state lottery commission directly to arrange for verification and payout, choosing between annual payments or a lump-sum cash option. Financial advisors often recommend consulting tax and legal experts before making the claim.
Lottery officials typically release details of any major secondary prize winners a day after the drawing.
As the excitement builds, lottery authorities are again reminding players to play responsibly and safeguard their tickets, which are considered bearer instruments—meaning whoever holds the ticket can claim the prize.
