Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Florida Powerball lottery game and results

  • The Powerball drawing happens three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

  • The draw takes place at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).

  • Because of time-zone differences, this translates to late evening U.S. time.

Important to know for players

  • Ticket sales typically close 1–2 hours before the drawing, though the exact cutoff depends on the state.
  • The drawing is conducted at the lottery headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida — and the results are posted online shortly afterward.

  • A Powerball ticket costs US $2.

  • To play, you pick 5 “white ball” numbers from 1 to 69 and 1 “Powerball” number from 1 to 26.

  • Drawings occur three times a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM Eastern Time (ET).

  • There are 9 prize tiers — you win something for matching as little as just the Powerball, but matching all 5 white balls + the Powerball wins the jackpot.

  • For an extra US $1, you can add “Power Play”, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2×, 3×, 4×, 5× or 10× (depending on the draw).

  • The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.

In Short

Buy a ticket, pick 6 numbers (5 white + 1 red), pay $2 (optionally $3 with Power Play), and wait for the draw. If your numbers match the draw — even partly, you can win one of several prize levels; match all and you hit the jackpot.
