It will air about 10 to 20 seconds after the live drawing takes place. However, be aware that the video doesn’t always play correctly.

If only one person wins, the “lump sum” will be worth $176.2 million, before taxes. No one won the jackpot on Wednesday, so the pot is growing. No one won $2 million last time, and just one person in North Carolina won the $1 million prize. There were 934,556 winners total, ranging up from $4 to $1 million.
If you choose the Power Play option, you’ll multiply the prize amount of non-jackpot prizes by the amount of the Power Play for tonight. The only exception is the $1 million prize, which only becomes $2 million if you choose the Power Play option when you buy your ticket.
In most locations, you have until 59 minutes before the drawing to purchase a Powerball ticket. Powerball tickets cost $2 (with an additional $1 for the Powerplay option.)
How do you know if your numbers won? If you match all five white balls in any order and match the red Powerball number, then you’ll win the jackpot. But there are additional ways to win. If you only matched some of the numbers and are wanting to know if you won something, please read the article at this link.
