What is the deadline to order Powerball tickets?

The deadline for getting Powerball tickets will vary by state, so it’s wise not to wait until the last minute to get your tickets. The deadline can be an hour prior to the drawing, so it's important to know the cut-off time within your state, which you can find by visiting your state’s local lottery commission website. Also, third-party apps (like Jackpocket) may have their own cut-off times, to ensure there’s enough time to fulfill your ticket ahead of the drawing..

If you’re using Jackpocket, a countdown timer on the app home screen will let you know how much time you have left to place your order for that game’s drawing.

What to do if you win the Powerball?

Celebrate! 

If you’ve won a large prize, the first thing to do is sign your ticket and place it somewhere secure (like in a fireproof safe, if you have one) until you can reach out to your local lottery commission to find out how to claim your winnings. You will then want to reach out to a lawyer with a specialty in financial matters. They can help you securely obtain your winnings and advise on the best money management strategies for your newly found wealth. 

If you’re a Jackpocket player, you are automatically notified by email when you win.

For prizes ~$600 and under ( the threshold amount in your state), Jackpocket credits your account for the full amount. If you win $600 or more, we arrange to have the ticket securely delivered to you so that you can claim your prize from the state lottery.
