When is Powerball?

• The Powerball main drawing takes place:
  • Mondays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time
  • Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time
  • Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time

• Some state lottery sites round this to 11:00 p.m. local (eastern) time in their schedules.

Time zones and local times

• The official draw time is anchored to Eastern Time, so you must convert it if you live elsewhere (for example, 7:59 p.m. Pacific Time, 9:59 p.m. Central Time).

• Ticket sales cut‑off times vary by state and are usually set for some minutes or up to an hour before the drawing.

How to check the next drawing

• You can see upcoming draw dates and recent results on state lottery pages (such as Louisiana, DC, or Georgia lottery sites) or on the official Powerball results pages.

• These pages list:
  • Last draw date and winning numbers
  • Current jackpot
  • Next scheduled Powerball drawing date and time.
