Schedule from public lottery sources. We do not operate the drawings and cannot control schedule changes, postponements, or possible errors. Always verify the next drawing time at your state lottery's official source.

The Powerball drawing schedule

Powerball draws three times a week, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM Eastern local time, year-round. Daylight saving never moves the drawing itself; it only changes how 10:59 PM Eastern converts to your own time zone, which the countdown above handles automatically.

Ticket sales cut off before the drawing at a time set by each state lottery, commonly one to two hours before. If you are cutting it close, verify the exact cut-off with your state lottery so your numbers count for tonight and not the next draw.

Have numbers ready before the cut-off

Roll a valid sample set on the free Powerball number generator, or open the AI Lucky Ticket app for sets built with hot, cold, and overdue analysis from ten years of draw history, each stamped with this same next-drawing time. Drawings are random events; no generation method improves the odds of winning.
