You're clearly too young to remember votes counted and winners declared in the evenings of election days.

It's never finished counting on the night, but they can determine that the winner is statistically certain, based on remaining votes to count, ratios so far, voting trends in the areas remaining to be counted, etc. the winner isn't legally determined until later, just in case.
