Powerball Draw Time in Melbourne: It's Not as Mysterious as Finding a Decent Park
The Powerball draw for our fair city (and the rest of Australia, for that matter) happens every Thursday night at around 8:30pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time). That's just after the footy finals (hopefully) and before you convince yourself that another round of vegemite toast is a good dinner idea.
Remember: Draw times are approximate, so don't get too hung up on it. Just make sure you've got your tickets by 7:30pm AEST, which is when the draw closes.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
