October 5, 2026 Powerball Results: $1M Winner in Arizona, Jackpot Rolls On
The jackpot survived, but the draw still produced a major winner: a $1M Match 5 ticket in Arizona.
The draw's strongest angle is the non-jackpot winner in Arizona who hit Match 5. That prize does not end the jackpot run, but it still creates a real tax-planning problem.
The winning numbers were 16, 23, 32, 36, 54 and Powerball 9, with Power Play 2x. The white balls totaled 161, with an odd/even split of 1/4 and a low/high split of 3/2.
With no grand-prize winner, the jackpot is now set to roll to $485M for Wednesday, Oct 7, with a cash value around $199.8M.
While the jackpot remains elusive, it was still a life-changing night for a player in Arizona who hit Match 5 for $1M.
