Powerball is drawn Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET, so the result waits for you at breakfast. The checking routine and the red-ball trap.
Published 13 November 2026 · the numbers in this guide are read live from our archive.
The short answer. Powerball is drawn Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM US Eastern, so the result is waiting on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings in the UAE, India and Pakistan. Open the Powerball results page, match the date on the card to the date on your slip, then compare the five white numbers and the red Powerball as two separate checks.
Three draws a week, on nights that are not evenly spaced: two days from Monday to Wednesday, three from Wednesday to Saturday, two again back to Monday. Translated into mornings on this side of the world, that gives you Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Nothing new appears on the other four mornings, and the card at the top of the page on a Friday is Wednesday’s draw doing its job, not a page that has gone stale.
| Game | Local draw time | UAE (GST) | India (IST) | Pakistan (PKT) | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Powerball | 10:59 PM ET | 7:59 AM (next day) | 9:29 AM (next day) | 8:59 AM (next day) | 3:59 AM (next day) |
Converted for 13 November 2026. US clocks change in March and November, which moves every US draw by an hour against the Gulf and India; this table is recalculated every time the page loads.
The draw itself happens very late in the American evening, which is why it reaches the Gulf around the start of the working day and India an hour and a half later. The exact hour moves twice a year, when the United States changes its clocks in March and November and the Gulf, India and Pakistan do not. The table above is recalculated on every page load for exactly that reason, so there is no seasonal arithmetic to do in your head. The whole American schedule in local time sits in our guide to US draw times for India and the UAE.
One page carries all of it, laid out in the order most people want it.
There is no app and nothing to log into. If the numbers have not appeared yet, the lottery has not published them yet: the balls are drawn at 10:59 PM Eastern and the official numbers follow some time after that, so a short wait and a reload is usually the whole answer. We are a results archive, not the operator, and an empty slot is better than a figure somebody guessed at.

Step four is where real money gets lost. A slip holding four of the drawn white balls, plus a red number that happens to equal the fifth white ball drawn, is a four-white-ball slip. The two drums are independent machines and the matching follows them. Our Powerball guide sets out the nine winning combinations in full if you want to see where a given count lands.
A result sent on a messaging app rarely says which game it came from, and three of the games we publish share the same shape: five numbers plus one ball from a second drum. The ceilings separate them in a couple of seconds, because no drum can produce a number larger than itself.
| Game | You pick | Drawn | Draw time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powerball | 5 numbers from 1–69 + Powerball 1–26 | Monday, Wednesday and Saturday | 10:59 PM ET |
| Mega Millions | 5 numbers from 1–70 + Mega Ball 1–24 | Tuesday and Friday | 11:00 PM ET |
| Lotto America | 5 numbers from 1–52 + Star Ball 1–10 | Monday, Wednesday and Saturday | 10:15 PM ET |
Among those three, a sixth number of 25 or 26 can only be Powerball, and a sixth number above 26 can only be Mega Millions. A sixth number of 10 or lower could be any of them, and then the draw night decides: Powerball and Lotto America share Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, while Mega Millions has Tuesday and Friday to itself. Powerball vs Mega Millions goes through the differences between the two largest of them properly.
This is the error that produces both false alarms and missed prizes. Someone whose red number appears among the five white balls drawn reads it as a match, and someone whose red number is correct but who matched no white balls assumes there is nothing to claim. Keep the two comparisons separate and neither can happen.
Four mornings a week have no Powerball result in them. A reader who checks on Friday is looking at Wednesday, and if they entered a line for Saturday they are comparing it against a draw it was never in. The date on the card answers this instantly, which is why it comes first in the routine above.
An advance play can cover several consecutive draws, and people tend to check it on the morning they remember it and then put it away. The dates printed on the slip are the list of draws it is entitled to; each of them is a separate comparison, and the earlier ones are the easiest to forget.
It tells you what has happened, which is genuinely useful when you are settling an old slip or satisfying yourself that our record is complete. It does not tell you what will happen. The bars above sit above and below the even-chance line in the way that counting anything random always looks: sixty-nine numbers sharing a few hundred appearances will never divide neatly, and the gaps are noise rather than tendency.
That matters here more than in most games, because the drum is large and the draws are frequent enough for people to build theories out of them. A white ball absent for two months is owed nothing on Saturday. Each draw starts from the same sixty-nine white balls and the same 26 red ones, with no memory of the one before. Our number analysis page publishes the frequency counts next to what happened when we tested scoring them against hundreds of real past draws, which was nothing: the scoring performed like chance, because chance is all there is to perform like. If you follow several American games, which US lottery draws tonight lays the week out night by night.
