Hold Onto Your Hats (Because You Might Win a Million Bucks)! - When is the Oklahoma Powerball Drawing?
Ever dreamt of quitting your day job and living on a beach sipping margaritas (with tiny umbrellas, of course)? Well, my friend, the Powerball lottery might just be your ticket to paradise! But before you start practicing your victory dance (solo or with an entourage, it's your call), you gotta know when to tune in for the drawing.
Here's the scoop on Oklahoma's Powerball drawing time:
- Drumroll please... The Powerball lottery in Oklahoma is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
- Mark your calendars (or don't, phones are great for reminders these days): The drawing happens at a snazzy 9:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).
Yes, but what time is that in Oklahoma?
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Ah, that's where things get interesting. Oklahoma is in the Central Time Zone (CT), which is one hour behind ET. So, for all you Sooner State lottery enthusiasts, the Powerball drawing airs at a much more reasonable 8:59 p.m. Central Time (CT).
Pro Tip: Don't be late to the party! Ticket sales usually close an hour or two before the drawing, so make sure you grab your lucky numbers beforehand (or let the machine pick for you, some folks swear by that strategy).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.

But Wait, There's More! - Double Play: A Powerball Twist (with a Time Difference)
Oklahoma offers a little somethin' somethin' extra called Double Play. It's basically like the Powerball's cool cousin who crashes the party. Double Play uses the Powerball numbers, but with an additional drawing for a separate prize pool.
Here's the catch (there's always a catch, right?): The Double Play drawing happens sometime between 10:10 p.m. and 10:40 p.m. CT. So, if you miss the main Powerball event, you still have a shot at winning with Double Play.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
Just remember: Don't get too hung up waiting for the Double Play numbers. You snooze, you lose (potentially)!
