Powerball Numbers – Results Details

The next official drawing for USA Powerball is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Drawings are held every Mon, Wed, Sat at 10:59 PM ET.

Ticket sales usually close 59 minutes before the draw, around 10:00 PM ET. However, individual state lotteries may have earlier cut-off times, so it is safer to purchase at least 2 hours in advance.

Yes, but with a major caution. You do not need to be a US citizen or resident to play. However, for a ticket to be valid, it must be physically purchased from a licensed retailer within a participating US state.

Warning: If you buy online through a third-party 'messenger service,' ensure they are reputable and actually buy a physical ticket on your behalf. If an agent takes your money but never buys the physical ticket, you have zero legal claim to the jackpot. The physical ticket is the only bearer instrument that matters.

If you are not a US resident, the standard Federal Tax withholding is a flat 30% (compared to 24% for residents). Additionally, depending on the state where the ticket was bought, state taxes can range from 0% to over 10%. Expect a total deduction of approximately 30-40% from the advertised lump-sum amount.
