where can i watch the powerball draw

You can watch the Powerball draw live on the official Powerball site, via local TV news channels that carry it, and through a few online livestreams and replays.

Quick Scoop: Where to Watch the Powerball Draw

1. Official Powerball website (easiest option)

  • The official Powerball website streams the drawing live every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • You can also watch recorded clips of past drawings there anytime if you miss it live.
  • Drawings are held at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee.

2. Local TV channels in the U.S.

  • Powerball drawings are broadcast on local TV stations across many states during the late evening news, around 10:59–11:30 p.m. local time.
  • Typical places to look:
    • Major network affiliates (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW) that carry lottery or late news segments.
* Your state lottery’s website “Where to Watch” or “Televised Drawings” page, which lists exact stations and times.

A typical user experience: you tune into your local ABC or CBS station’s late news; partway through the broadcast, they cut to the Powerball numbers or show the drawing feed.

3. Online livestreams and YouTube

  • Many state lotteries or partner stations offer a livestream of their newscast that includes the drawing (for example, WSB-TV in Atlanta streams its newscast online and shows the Powerball draw during it).
  • If you miss it live, you can usually see:
    • Clips and replays on the official Powerball YouTube channel or linked from the Powerball website.
* Short result segments on local stations’ YouTube channels or websites.

4. Timing and what to expect

  • Draws take place at 10:59 p.m. ET (9:59 p.m. CT, 8:59 p.m. MT, 7:59 p.m. PT) on draw nights.
  • The actual drawing only lasts a few minutes, so it is easy to miss if you join late—many people start watching the news broadcast a bit earlier to be safe.

Imagine sitting on your couch, ticket in hand, as the studio host counts down to the spin; the white balls start tumbling in the machine, and for a brief moment the room feels very quiet even if the TV is loud.

5. Simple checklist before the draw

  • Confirm the draw date and time in your time zone from the official Powerball page.
  • Decide whether you’ll watch:
    • On the official website livestream.
* On your **local TV station** that lists Powerball in its drawing schedule.

* Or via an online news livestream or replay clip.
  • Keep your ticket nearby so you can check numbers as they are announced.
