Local television stations often broadcast the Powerball drawing live, typically around 10:59 PM ET on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Check your local listings to find out where to watch the drawing.
While a $455 million win is impressive, it falls outside the top 10 biggest lottery jackpots. However, it’s still more than enough to secure generational wealth.
Many state lotteries offer text alerts. Sign up to receive the latest winning numbers sent directly to your phone, so you won’t miss any important updates about the jackpot or your numbers.
Lottery retailers often post the winning numbers on displays or boards inside their stores after the drawing. This is a quick and easy way to check your numbers if you bought your ticket locally.
If you purchased your ticket online, your account may provide a quick way to check your winning numbers. Many online platforms also send out email notifications once the winning numbers are available.
Number tracking apps allow you to input your ticket numbers and automatically check them against the winning numbers. Some apps also alert you when you’ve won, making it easy to track your tickets without manually comparing numbers.
