What Channel Shows The Powerball Drawing

Getty George Hollins buys a Powerball ticket at the Shell Gateway.

The Powerball drawing is going viral again as the jackpot surpasses $500 million. If you're participating in the drawing, then you'll likely want to watch the results live on TV as they're announced. However, you might need a refresher since the drawings have changed slightly. We have all the details below that you'll need on the Powerball time, what TV stations to watch, when the drawing will take place, and more.

Powerball Drawing Time & Date

The Powerball drawing is every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. Eastern (9:59 p.m. Central.) The drawing is broadcast on different networks depending on where you live. Tonight's drawing is for $545 million with an estimated cash value of $392.1 million.

Tonight, the drawing will be at 10:59 p.m. Eastern/9:59 p.m. Central/8:59 p.m. Mountain/7:59 p.m. Pacific.

It's important to note that the drawing has had a significant change to its date and time — the first change made in 29 years, The Associated Press reported (via KSTP.) Drawings are now three nights a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — rather than simply two nights a week. So if you're just buying tickets now that the jackpot is bigger, you might be surprised to know about the extra Monday night drawing. The drawing time is still the same.

Powerball Drawing TV Station & Channels

Different stations are broadcasting the drawing depending on your region, according to Powerball.com. Some cities may base whether they broadcast tonight on how large the jackpot gets, so none of the channels listed below are guaranteed to be airing.

To find your city, just look for your state in the alphabetical list below and see if your city or state is listed beneath.

Please note that sometimes, TV channels that are supposed to show a live broadcast of the drawing decide not to broadcast it after all depending on what else is happening that day, so none of the listings below are guaranteed. Most of these stations are confirmed by Powerball.com and if not, that is noted.
