The Powerball jackpot continues to grow after no one matched all six Powerball numbers to win Saturday’s drawing.
Grab your tickets and check your numbers to see if you’re the game’s newest millionaire.
Here are the numbers for the Saturday, Oct. 18, Powerball jackpot worth an estimated $295 million with a cash option of $140.3 million.
The winning numbers for Saturday night’s drawing were 3, 11, 27, 40, 58, and the Powerball is 10. The Power Play was 3X.
No one matched all six numbers to win the Powerball jackpot.
A ticket bought in Missouri and a ticket sold in Wisconsin matched all five numbers except for the Powerball worth $1 million each. A ticket purchased in Pennsylvania matched all five numbers except for the Powerball and added the Power Play worth $2 million.
Double Play numbers were 5, 20, 27, 44, 51, and the Powerball is 21.
Zero tickets matched all six numbers, and no one matched all five numbers except for the Powerball worth $500,000.

How Could Fed’s Next Rate Cut Affect BTC and ETH? Here’s What History Shows  Cryptonews
source

October has been a whirlwind for Bitcoin – it first reached an all-time high of $126,080 early in the month, then fell sharply amid the worst market-wide liquidation event in crypto history, before making solid progress over the past 24 hours by reclaiming $111,000.
Initially, the liquidation event caused a lot of panic among investors, which was a completely rational response. However, what we see today is that weak hands have now been wiped out, and strong hands have been steadily accumulating.
It’s a textbook setup that signals exciting potential ahead, where any upcoming bullish catalysts could trigger a FOMO-driven return of sidelined investors and those who sold on the dip.
Altcoins are also in favorable positions, but one project currently commanding all the attention is Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a trending presale that has raised over $24 million. Its initial success makes it one of the strongest-performing presales in all of crypto right now – so let’s take a look at what it’s all about.
Bitcoin Hyper is creating a Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain to offer faster speeds, lower fees, and smart contract support on the Bitcoin network. While that already sounds exciting, understanding why they’re building this is key to grasping the true potential of how far HYPER could go.
Bitcoin faces a significant issue – fewer people are using the network than before. The number of daily active addresses peaked in April 2021 at 1.1 million and has been steadily declining since, dropping to about 700,000 today, according to Glassnode data.

Indeed, Bitcoin’s price has continued to climb, which is a good sign. That’s mainly due to the increase in long-term holders, which has gone up from 12 million to 15 million, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro data.
But here’s the issue: with every Bitcoin halving, there’s less BTC being emitted for miners, which means they become increasingly reliant on rising network activity and transaction fees for incentives – so falling users is not what they want to see. This is where Bitcoin Hyper steps in.
Bitcoin Hyper transforms Bitcoin from a network for storing and transferring value into something more like a modern blockchain. It’s built using Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) tools and ZK rollups, which means it feels like transacting on Solana, but transactions will be periodically reported back to the Bitcoin base layer for finality through ZK rollups.
Essentially, it’s fusing Solana-level speeds and programmability with Bitcoin-level security. That’s something we’ve never seen before, and it unlocks modern blockchain functions such as DeFi, RWAs, meme coins, and AI – all without compromising Bitcoin’s core principles.
Another advantage of integrating SVM is that Bitcoin Hyper becomes interoperable with Solana. Developers can move their apps and tokens to the network without needing to learn a new programming language or use wrappers. This paves the way for the Solana ecosystem to easily move to Bitcoin Hyper, potentially bringing with it millions of new users and helping to address Bitcoin’s issue of declining numbers.
Another major benefit of Bitcoin Hyper is that, since it connects directly to Bitcoin, it should benefit as the Bitcoin price rises. And after the recent crash, BTC is showing signs of an upcoming breakout.
Glassnode recently highlighted on X that small Bitcoin holders (between 1 and 1,000 BTC) “stepped up” to buy BTC during the dip, while large holders slowed their selling. That’s is a classic sign of growing market confidence, signalling that bulls are regaining control.
It also indicates that upcoming catalysts, like this month’s FOMC meeting, where interest rates are expected to be cut again, could help trigger the next BTC surge.
Smaller $BTC holders are stepping up.

Smart money traders recognize this optimistic outlook, not just for BTC but also for HYPER. And because the project is still in early stages, they believe it could deliver significant gains.
For instance, the Cryptonews YouTube channel recently suggested that HYPER could potentially see up to 100x gains, noting that “the majority of crypto investors are not ready for what the market is about to do next,” and calling Bitcoin Hyper “the next best thing after Bitcoin.”

With over $24 million raised in the Bitcoin Hyper presale, it’s clear the project has support from deep-pocketed crypto investors. Besides its promising use case, another reason they’re buying is that they’re eager to lock in the current discounted price.
Right now, investors can buy HYPER tokens at $0.013145. However, this price will increase as the campaign progresses, with the next rise in less than two days. This marks a rare chance to acquire what could become a key part of Bitcoin infrastructure at a ground-floor price – so smart money is snapping it up.

Interest in Pi Network has been rising again as crypto investors look for new opportunities in the altcoin market. The project, originally designed to make mining more accessible through mobile devices, has maintained strong community engagement despite delays in mainnet development. 
As the broader market prepares for another wave of DeFi project growth, tokens like Pi are drawing attention for their potential to reintroduce utility to community-driven cryptocurrencies. Alongside this renewed attention, Remittix (RTX) continues to emerge as one of the best crypto presales of 2025, positioning itself as a project solving real-world financial problems with practical applications in global payments.

Pi Network’s price is currently at $0.2070, a meager 0.36% increase from the past 24 hours. The token’s market capitalization is estimated at around $1.71 billion backed by a 24-hour trading volume of $15.76 million, rising 14.89% from yesterday. This incremental growth shows that investors have a cautious but upbeat attitude that Pi would benefit from the return of liquidity on centralized platforms and DeFi.
Investors remain focused on whether Pi’s eventual open mainnet will bring expanded functionality such as crypto staking or cross-chain compatibility, which could position it among the next big altcoins of 2025. However, while Pi’s momentum is growing, the spotlight in the altcoin market continues to lean toward projects offering verified real-world use cases — and that’s where Remittix stands out.
Remittix (RTX), currently priced at $0.1166 per token, has surpassed $27.5 million raised with over 679 million tokens sold, showing one of the fastest-growing presales in the market. The project is developing a crypto-to-fiat payment bridge that enables users to send digital assets directly to traditional bank accounts across over 30 countries — a major step toward mainstream crypto adoption.
Here’s what continues to drive attention toward RTX:
Remittix’s verification by CertiK provides strong investor confidence, while its upcoming listings on BitMart and LBank mark major liquidity milestones. The project has also introduced a 15% USDT referral program, offering instant rewards to participants — making it one of the best DeFi projects of 2025 with a functioning ecosystem even before launch.

The Remittix DeFi project continues to expand through wallet beta testing and steady community growth, all while maintaining transparency and progress recognition through platforms like CertiK and Remittix.io. Its blend of real-world utility, secure tokenomics, and strong presale milestones positions it as one of the top cryptos under $1 to watch.
With Pi Network maintaining community relevance and Remittix breaking new ground in financial connectivity, both tokens reflect how investor focus in 2025 is shifting toward crypto with real utility, but only one is already delivering it.

Convenience-store leaders are constantly negotiating contracts, whether it be for a new loyalty provider or a new product they’re adding to their sets.
At the 2025 NACS Show, which took place Oct. 14-17 in Chicago, Brian Ferguson, chief marketing officer at EG America; Tiffany Fraley, CEO of InConvenience Inc.; Jeffry Harrison, co-founder and president of St. Louis, Missouri-based software development company Rovertown; and Jay Nelson, founder and CEO at Warwick, Rhode Island-based digital tire inflation machine manufacturer Excel Tire Gauge LLC, shared their best negotiating tips. 
Business leaders must be prepared going into a negotiation, according to the panel, which was moderated by Jeff Burrell, vice president of retail engagement, research and education at NACS.
“A negotiation, a business meeting, a relationship is only going to go as well as your preparation,” Ferguson said. 
That preparation should include gathering data—both on what’s happening inside and outside of a business—determining what a company hopes to accomplish and what their timeframe is, he said. Westborough, Massachusetts-based EG America has more than 1,460 stores under brands including Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop and Quik Stop.
“Don’t walk into a negotiation or a business meeting unprepared because you’re usually sitting across from somebody who has over-prepared for the meeting and might even know your data better than you. So preparation is key,” Ferguson said. 
Another part of that is internal alignment, said Fraley, who runs The Goods Spot and The Gas Spot convenience-store brands under Chicago-based InConvenience. 
“It really is important for [your team] to know what we are trying to do,” she said. “Are we trying to solve a problem? What are we trying to accomplish? And then the people who are actually going to be the ones doing the work, are they on board? Is it something we’re actually able to do? So to get everyone’s buy-in is very important, because otherwise, we’re just setting ourselves up to fail.” 
Negotiating is more listening than it is selling, Nelson said. 
“When you walk into a room, you want to understand what their pain points are,” he said. “Everybody’s different. So, if you’re understanding what the other party’s problems are, that’s how you’re going to solve their problems.”
This also includes asking follow-up questions. 
“If a supplier or vendor, whoever, cannot explain what they do in the simplest terms, do they really know what they’re doing?” Fraley asked. 
Also, keep phones and computers away if it’s an in-person meeting, Ferguson said, or eyes on the camera if it’s a virtual meeting. 
One thing not to do while negotiating: Don’t be overly aggressive, Harrison said. 
“You want to always be closing, but at the same time, you want to make sure you do it in the right fashion and get to know the retailer,” he said. 
Also, remember that walking away is always an option if a deal is not a good fit. 
“If you’re not feeling the economics of the deal, or the amount of time, and labor and resources you’re going to invest as a supplier,” it’s ok to walk away, he said. 
It applies to retailers as well, Harrison said.
“You don’t want to have to switch loyalty companies or app companies, any supplier, you want to be committed long term,” he said.

The winning numbers were: 6, 8, 22, 29, 37, 50.
Hartig opted to receive the cash value in a single lump sum payment of $5,770,232 after required withholdings, officials said.

In the last article, we talked about how Bitcoin could start moving higher. If you haven’t read it yet, it might be worth a look, because what’s happening right now is exactly what we were expecting. 

Bitcoin just hit around $113K after sitting near $108K barely an hour and a half ago. The move was fast, intense, and full of intent, the kind of momentum that always tells a story.

Now all eyes are on one thing: the daily supply zone. To the left of the chart, there’s plenty of liquidity waiting to be taken, and Bitcoin seems close to doing just that. 

Maybe by the time you read this, it’s already touched that area, maybe even reacted. The price is moving fast enough that anything can happen within hours.

Given the short manipulation we saw between October 10 and 17, I’m leaning toward a breakout. That move might have been the fakeout before the real trend resumes. But as always, we can’t have absolute certainty. The market moves as it wants, when it wants. What we can do is read the clues and follow where liquidity leads.

Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller said at the Payments Innovation Conference today that the central bank is exploring a new limited-access master account framework, which would enable eligible financial institutions to access the Fed’s payments rails without going through intermediary banking partners.
The proposal was first reported by Crypto in America host Eleanor Terrett. The new “master account lite” framework could benefit firms such as Custodia Bank and Kraken, which have sought Federal Reserve master accounts for years.
Custodia Bank’s Federal Reserve master account application was previously rejected, prompting the bank to initiate legal proceedings over access issues.
The framework may also accelerate pending applications from companies, including Ripple and Anchorage, which submitted their requests earlier this year.
A Fed master account is a bank’s main account with the Federal Reserve. It lets institutions send and receive payments, settle transactions, and hold funds directly with the Fed, something usually limited to regulated banks and similar institutions.
