Once the Powerball receives the outstanding submission, the drawing can proceed. The winning numbers and recorded video of the drawing will be posted to the Powerball website and YouTube channel. Wisconsin had five $50,000 Powerball winners Saturday night. Winning tickets were sold in Green Bay, Hales Corners, Madison, Onalaska, and Prairie du Sac.
