Powerball winning numbers are announced shortly after each drawing, which is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights.

Usual announcement time

  • The drawing itself is held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time at the Florida Lottery studio in Tallahassee.
  • The winning numbers are typically posted and visible to players within minutes after the draw finishes, though exact posting time can vary a bit by website, app, or TV station.

Where to see the numbers

  • You can watch the draw live through the official Powerball streaming page or participating TV stations in many local markets.
  • After the draw, most state lottery websites and major lottery result sites list the winning numbers and prize breakdowns for that date.

Things that can delay announcements

  • Occasionally, a drawing can be delayed if one or more participating lotteries have not completed required pre-draw security and sales procedures; in that case, the announcement comes later than usual that night.
  • When delays happen, the next update from official lottery channels will usually explain the cause and give an updated time for when the drawing and number release will occur.
