The Powerball drawing in Arizona takes place three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 8:59 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST). The ticket sales close one hour before the drawing at 7:59 PM MST. Note that during Daylight Savings Time (from the second Sunday in March to the first Saturday in November), the sales cutoff and drawings occur one hour earlier for state games. Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so these times remain consistent year-round for Arizona players.
