10:59pm - The Drawing

The Powerball drawing is held at the Florida Lottery Studio in Tallahassee. The winning numbers are drawn using two separate ball machines - one for the main white numbers and one for the red Powerballs.

There are various people present at each draw to ensure it all runs smoothly, including multi-state lottery draw officials and a security official.

There is also an independent auditor, with drawings supervised by certified public accountants.

Prior to the draw, all the equipment is kept in a double-locked alarmed vault, while the ball sets are sealed by the auditors.

Regular tests are carried out to ensure it is all working as it should be, including measurements, X-rays and statistical tests to check the balls are being selected at random.
