Latest News About What Time Is Powerball Drawn

Updated 2026-05-21 18:06

Powerball drawings are held three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. In the U.S. time zone, doors typically close around 9:59 p.m. ET for ticket sales in many states, with the drawing itself at about 10:59 p.m. ET on those days. In Brazil (Brasília time), that generally translates to late evening on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with ticket sales ending a bit earlier depending on the state you participate through. If you want the exact local broadcast time for your location or the current deadline to buy in a specific state, tell me which state you’re playing from and I can pull the precise cutoff and drawing time for you.
