Powerball continues its regular drawing schedule, held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m., following the introduction of Monday draws in 2021. The lottery reminds participants that ticket purchase deadlines differ across states. For example, New Jersey closes sales at 9:59 p.m. on the day of the draw, while New York allows purchases until 10 p.m. States and jurisdictions maintain their own cutoff times, and players are advised not to wait until the final minutes.
A standard Powerball ticket costs $2, with an optional Power Play add-on available for $1. The Power Play feature boosts non-jackpot prizes up to five times their original value, and can reach 10x when the jackpot is below $150 million.
