Powerball is drawn three times per week in the United States. Drawings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings.
Basic schedule
Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at night, typically around 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Many state lotteries note the same three‑times‑weekly schedule, just listed in their local time zones.
Ticket timing
Most states stop Powerball ticket sales roughly an hour before the draw time on draw days. Exact cut‑off times can vary by state, so checking the rules for the specific state lottery gives the most accurate local deadline.
