What time is the Powerball Drawing?
Tonight is the $430 million Powerball drawing. The drawing is scheduled to take place at 10: 59 p.m. Eastern tonight, Wednesday, August 16. The game can be played in 44 states, plus the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.
Tonight’s jackpot is big. It’s the ninth largest in the history of the game and the 12 largest in U. S. lotto history. Last Friday a winner from Illinois took home $393 million from Mega Millions.
If you win the Powerball, you’ ll win $430 million which has a cash value of $273.4 million.
Other changes to win include:
If you’ re planning to buy tickets, don’ t wait until the last minute. Many states stop ticket sales an hour before the drawing is scheduled to take place. That means, you’ ll have until 9: 59 pm Eastern to buy your tickets since the drawing is at 10: 59 pm Eastern. However, some states quit selling tickets even earlier than that. The sooner you can get there to get your ticket the better, especially in case you’ re one of the unlucky people who has to wait in a long line:
The drawing may have a delay of 10 to 20 seconds due to processing the livestream. It will only play once, so you’ ll want to be watching the livestream or the live drawing on TV a couple minutes early, just to make sure you don’ t miss it.
Powerball also has two official apps that access its livestream. You can access the Apple app here and the Android app here.
