Powerball drawings have so far continued as normal. The numbers are drawn at the Florida Lottery’s Tallahassee studio at 10:59PM EST every Wednesday and Saturday.
The schedule has remained the same ever since Powerball launched in April 1992, with two draws a week, and the plan is for the game to carry on that way. Any decision about changing the schedule or suspending draws will be taken by the member states of the Multi-State Lottery Association. Powerball.net will publish news of any major announcements.

Coronavirus has severely affected everyone’s general life in the U.S., spreading to all 50 states and leading to more and more restrictions to try and stop Covid-19 from escalating.

Powerball officials originally declared that the starting jackpot would be reduced from $40million to $20million due to a reduction in ticket sales and to make sure they could still provide funding to states whilst the pandemic continues. The rise in jackpots was also lowered to $2 million, but now officials have declared that they cannot establish a firm starting jackpot or rise in jackpot amount and this will instead depend on ticket sales and interest rates.
