Powerball numbers drawn for $1.56 billion jackpot: Did you win?

10 October 2023

(NEXSTAR) — A record-setting Powerball jackpot is up for grabs, and the winning numbers are in.

The winning numbers for the $1.56 billion Powerball jackpot, drawn on Monday, Oct. 9, are: 67, 34, 46, 55, 16. The Powerball number is 14, and the PowerPlay Multiplier is 3X.

Should there be a winner (or winners) in Monday’s drawing, they could be taking home the third-largest Powerball jackpot in history.

It’s also the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. history.
