The Arizona Powerball drawings take place three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), which corresponds to 2:59 a.m. Mountain Time (MT) in Arizona the next day. So, for Arizona players, the drawing times effectively occur at 2:59 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings. This schedule is consistent with the official Powerball drawings held live from Florida and broadcast nationwide. Arizona ticket sales for each drawing close a little earlier, generally one to two hours before the drawing time.
