Mini Powerball Jackpot Hits $48.5 Million – Same Draw, Lower Stake
The Mini Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated US$48.5 million for Wednesday, 7 October 2026 – exactly 10% of the US$485 million Powerball jackpot. Same official numbers, same drawing, a lower price per line and a minimum of ten lines. Here is how it works and what every tier pays.
The Mini Powerball jackpot has reached an estimated US$48.5 million for Wednesday, 7 October 2026. Nobody won the Powerball jackpot on Monday, so the main prize climbed to US$485 million, and Mini Powerball – which pays exactly one tenth of every Powerball prize – followed it up. Same numbers, same drawing, a lower price per line.
Why the Mini Powerball Jackpot Is US$48.5 Million
Mini Powerball has no separate prize pool. Its jackpot is always 10% of the current Powerball estimate, so when Powerball moved from US$463 million on Monday to US$485 million for Wednesday, the Mini Powerball top prize grew in the same proportion to US$48.5 million. If Wednesday's drawing produces no jackpot winner, both prizes will rise again for Saturday, 10 October. The full story of the current Powerball run is in our news on the Powerball jackpot of US$485 million.
How Mini Powerball Works on LottoPark
Mini Powerball is a LottoPark game built directly on the official US Powerball drawing. Nothing about the numbers changes:
- on every line you choose 5 numbers from 1 to 69 and 1 Powerball from 1 to 26, or use Quick Pick;
- your lines take part in the Powerball drawing held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time;
- the winning numbers are the official Powerball numbers;
- every prize, including the jackpot, is 10% of the Powerball prize for the same match;
- the minimum order is 10 lines.
Because one drawing decides both games, the odds are identical. The difference is only the prize scale – and a lower price per line, which lets you cover more combinations in a single order. The complete rules are on the Mini Powerball rules page.

Monday's Numbers Through Mini Powerball Eyes
On Monday, 5 October 2026 the numbers were 16, 23, 32, 36, 54 and Powerball 9, and these were also the Mini Powerball winning numbers. In Powerball, one ticket in Louisiana matched all five white balls and won US$2 million with Power Play. In Mini Powerball, a line matching the same five white balls would have paid US$100,000, while a line matching four white balls and the 9 would have paid US$5,000 instead of US$50,000. You can always check every tier in the latest Powerball results.
Mini Powerball or Powerball – Which to Choose?
Both games use the same drawing, so the choice comes down to prize size and price. Powerball offers the full US$485 million jackpot with a minimum of three lines. Mini Powerball offers a US$48.5 million jackpot – still a life-changing sum – at a lower price per line, with a minimum of ten lines. You can play Mini Powerball online on LottoPark before Wednesday's drawing at 10:59 p.m. ET (02:59 UTC on Thursday, 8 October), or go for the full prize and play Powerball.
