Powerball numbers are officially announced during the live drawing from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time on drawing nights (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday).

Where the numbers are announced

  • The official live drawing happens at the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee, where the winning balls are drawn and announced on air.
  • Many local TV stations across participating states air this drawing, usually right before or during their late evening newscasts.
  • The results are then posted on the official Powerball website, where you can see the winning numbers, jackpot details, and recent draw history shortly after the draw.

Other places you’ll see the numbers

  • State lottery websites (like California or Arkansas lottery pages) publish the winning Powerball numbers and prize details for their state.
  • Retailers that sell tickets (convenience stores, gas stations, supermarkets) often print or display winning numbers after each draw so players can compare tickets.

In practical terms: the drawing is physically done and announced in Florida, then those same winning numbers are distributed everywhere—TV, official websites, and local lottery channels—within minutes.
