October 12, 2026 Powerball Results: $1M Winner in California, Jackpot Rolls On
The jackpot survived, but the draw still produced a major winner: a $1M Match 5 ticket in California.
The draw's strongest angle is the non-jackpot winner in California who hit Match 5. That prize does not end the jackpot run, but it still creates a real tax-planning problem.

With no grand-prize winner, the jackpot is now set to roll to $562M for Wednesday, Oct 14, with a cash value around $230.4M.
While the jackpot remains elusive, it was still a life-changing night for a player in California who hit Match 5 for $1M.
