Powerball Results Nov. 19: $593M Jackpot Unclaimed Again

The Powerball jackpot continues its relentless climb after Wednesday night's drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner, pushing the estimated prize to $593 million for the next draw. The winning numbers drawn on November 19, 2025, were 10-31-49-51-68, with Powerball 19 and a Power Play multiplier of 2.

No Grand Prize Winner, But Virginia Player Scores Big

While no ticket matched all six numbers in the November 19 drawing, the week wasn't without significant winners. A Virginia player claimed a substantial prize from the previous November 17 drawing, joining a West Virginia ticket holder who won $1 million in Match 5 prizes. The Virginia winner has yet to publicly claim their prize but is expected to begin the formal verification process soon, according to lottery officials.

The November 17 winning numbers were 7-33-50-57-66, with Powerball 23 and a 5X Power Play. Though these numbers failed to produce a jackpot winner, they generated considerable excitement in Virginia, where Powerball success stories continue to capture public attention.

How the Powerball Prize Structure Works

Powerball operates across 45 states, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with drawings held three times weekly—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Players select five white ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26, with a standard ticket costing $2.

The astronomical odds of winning the jackpot—1 in 292 million—explain why these prizes can grow so dramatically. Each rollover adds substantial value to the pot, with Wednesday's missed opportunity pushing the next drawing's estimated prize even higher. Winners can choose between an annuity paid over 29 years or a lump-sum cash option, typically valued at approximately half the advertised jackpot.

The Publix Pattern: Billion-Dollar Winners

Recent lottery history has revealed an interesting trend involving Publix grocery stores and billion-dollar jackpots. A Publix in Newnan, Georgia, approximately 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, sold the winning ticket for a $980 million Mega Millions jackpot on November 14, 2025—the eighth-largest Mega Millions prize in history.

This continues a remarkable pattern for the Lakeland, Florida-based grocery chain. In August 2023, a Publix in Neptune Beach, Florida, sold a ticket worth $1.58 billion—the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever. Earlier, in January 2016, a Publix in Melbourne Beach, Florida, sold one of three winning tickets for a $1.586 billion Powerball prize, claimed by David Kaltschmidt and Maureen Smith.

Despite these high-profile wins, Publix maintains a policy of not publicly commenting on lottery victories. A notice on the company's corporate website states: "Publix does not participate in or promote lottery stories. Rather, we offer the lottery as a service to our customers." The Georgia Publix that sold the $980 million ticket received a $50,000 commission, though retail bonuses vary by state.

State-by-State Results Across America

While national attention focuses on the massive Powerball jackpot, state lotteries processed numerous draws on November 19. In Idaho, the day's lottery results included not only Powerball but also Pick 3 (Day: 9-7-5, Night: 9-8-7), Pick 4 (Day: 6-8-3-9, Night: 4-9-6-9), and Lucky For Life numbers (02-04-12-34-38, Lucky Ball: 16).

Tennessee lottery players checked their tickets against Cash4Life numbers (26-40-43-44-56, Cash Ball: 01) and Cash 3 results (Morning: 5-4-0, Midday: 8-3-6, Evening: 8-1-8). Delaware participants had even more options, with Play 3 (Day: 2-9-4, Night: 1-2-2) and Multi-Win Lotto (02-03-05-06-19-33) among the games drawn.

Where and How to Play

Powerball tickets remain widely available at convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and authorized retail outlets nationwide. Several states now permit online purchases through approved digital platforms like Jackpocket, which operates in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.

The Jackpocket app allows players to select lottery games and numbers, place orders, view tickets, and collect winnings directly from their phones or computers—a convenience that has grown in popularity as jackpots reach record levels.

Understanding Prize Claims and Deadlines

Prize claim procedures vary by state, but general guidelines apply across most jurisdictions. Retailers typically redeem prizes up to $599 directly. For larger amounts, winners must submit claim forms along with winning tickets to state lottery offices, either in person or by mail.

In Delaware, the lottery allows winners to remain anonymous regardless of the prize amount—a significant advantage over many states that require public disclosure for large jackpots. Most states give winners between six months to one year from the drawing date to claim prizes, though exact timeframes vary by jurisdiction.

For the biggest jackpots, winners should sign their tickets immediately to establish legal ownership, then consult with financial advisors and attorneys before claiming. The vetting process typically takes several weeks as lottery officials verify the winning ticket's authenticity and confirm the winner's eligibility.

The Mathematics Behind the Mania

As jackpots grow, ticket sales typically surge—a phenomenon lottery officials have observed repeatedly. The $593 million Powerball prize represents not just accumulated rollovers but also intense public interest. After five months of rollovers before the recent $980 million Mega Millions win, industry watchers noted record participation levels driven by the approaching billion-dollar threshold.

Despite the slim odds, lottery officials confirm that someone eventually wins—it's simply a matter of when. The Wednesday, November 19 drawing showed no jackpot winner, but players matched various number combinations to claim smaller prizes. The Power Play option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes for an additional dollar, offers players another way to increase potential winnings even without hitting the grand prize.

What Happens Next

With no winner in the Wednesday drawing, attention now turns to Saturday, November 22, when the Powerball jackpot is expected to surpass $593 million. Lottery officials anticipate heightened interest as the prize continues climbing, potentially approaching the psychological billion-dollar threshold that generates even greater public participation.

The cycle continues: each drawing without a grand prize winner adds more fuel to the jackpot fire, creating anticipation for the next opportunity. For the Virginia player who won big in the November 17 drawing, the verification process continues, while millions of Americans check their tickets and dream about what they'd do with life-changing lottery money.

As players prepare for the next drawing, lottery officials remind participants to play responsibly and keep tickets in a safe place. After all, you can't win if you don't play—but more importantly, you can't claim your prize if you lose your ticket.
