Why the specific timing?
- Fairness and Security: Holding the drawing at a consistent, later hour allows time for all participating state lotteries to report their sales figures. This ensures that the jackpot amount is accurately calculated and that the drawing is conducted with integrity.
- Wider Reach: The 10:59 PM ET drawing time is chosen to accommodate players across different time zones in the United States. Many people can tune in or check results after their workday concludes.
Where to find the winning numbers:
Once the drawing concludes, the winning numbers are usually announced shortly after. You can find the official Powerball results on:
