April 7 - 2:15 a.m. ET

The Powerball drawing will be live streamed on Powerball.com shortly, and the winning numbers and recorded video of the drawing will be posted to the Powerball website and YouTube channel.

April 7 - 1:05 a.m. ET

The Powerball drawing scheduled for Saturday, April 6 remains delayed. We continue to have one lottery that is in the process of completing the required pre-draw procedures.

Please note that these required pre-draw procedures are completed by every participating lottery prior to every Powerball drawing, and the time it takes to compete this process varies by drawing.

While a delay to tonight’s Powerball drawing is unfortunate, it means participating lotteries are following the game rules enacted to protect the integrity of the game. Every single ticket bought for Saturday’s Powerball drawing will be accounted for before the winning numbers are drawn.

Please keep your tickets. We look forward to drawing the winning numbers as soon as possible.

April 6 - 11:05 p.m. ET

The Powerball® drawing scheduled for 10:59 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 6 has been delayed.

Tonight, we have one participating lottery that needs additional time to complete required pre-draw procedures, which have been enacted to protect the security and integrity of the Powerball game.

Powerball game rules require that every single ticket sold nationwide be checked and verified against two different computer systems before the winning numbers are drawn. This is done to ensure that every ticket sold for the Powerball drawing has been accounted for and has an equal chance to win. Tonight, we have one jurisdiction that needs extra time to complete that pre-draw process.

Please hold on to your tickets for Saturday’s Powerball drawing. When the required pre-draw procedures are complete, the Powerball drawing will be performed under the supervision of lottery security officials and independent auditors.

The drawing will be live streamed on Powerball.com, and the winning numbers and recorded video of the drawing will be posted to the Powerball website and YouTube channel.
