A guided tour of every page, dropdown and chart on this site — what each screen shows, and what each number means, in plain English.
In one sentence: this site shows what has already been drawn, in plain tables and
charts. Nothing here predicts the future — every draw is random and every combination
always has the same odds. See the FAQ for how the games work.
1. The home page — five tabs
The buttons under the title switch between five sections. Only one shows at a time.
ResultsMore ResultsHistory Results
The dark red button is the section you are looking at now.

What it does
Results
Today's winning numbers for every game we cover. Big jackpot games (Powerball, Mega Millions) at the top, daily games grouped by state below.
More Results
Choose a state and it immediately lists that state's games with their latest numbers. Tap a game, or use the button, to open its statistics.
History Results
Search any date back to September 2, 1980 — a birthday, an anniversary — and see exactly what was drawn that day.
Winning Calculator
Enter a prize amount and your state to estimate tax and what you keep.
Fun Numbers
Playful numbers from your birthday and star sign. Entertainment only — never a tip.
2. Using the dropdowns
Dropdowns work the same everywhere on the site: tap one, a list appears, choose a
line. Nothing happens to your ticket or your money — they only change what the page shows.
State — which state's lottery you want to look at. Each state
runs its own games and its own draw times.
Game — which game inside that state. Games marked
(coming soon) cannot be chosen yet because we have not finished collecting
their results.
Draw time — most daily games are drawn twice a day. Choose
All draw times to mix them, or one draw only (for example Evening only)
if you always play the same draw.
3. Reading a result
Daytime — Today:787
The draw name, the date, then the winning numbers in the order they
were drawn. "Today" means it was drawn today in that state's own local time.
4. The game page tabs
Every game page has the same eight tabs across the top.
Tab

5. What the numbers on a result mean
Sum 22Root sum 4Odd/Even OEOHigh/Low HHH
These four facts appear under every winning number.
Term
Meaning
Example (7-8-7)
Sum
All the digits added together.
7+8+7 = 22
Root sum
Keep adding until one digit is left. Many long-time players track this.
22 → 2+2 = 4
Odd/Even
O = odd number (1,3,5,7,9), E = even number (0,2,4,6,8), in ball order.
OEO
High/Low
H = high digit (5–9), L = low digit (0–4), in ball order.
HHH
Straight
Exact order. 7-8-7 only wins if the draw is 7-8-7.
pays the most
Box
Any order. 7-7-8, 7-8-7 or 8-7-7 all win.
3-way box
Double
Two digits the same (3-way box — 3 possible orders).
7-8-7
Triple
All three digits the same. There is only one order, so no box play.
5-5-5
6. Hot & Cold — reading the balls
721 hitsjust hit
317 hits6 draws ago
612 hits4 draws ago
Left to right: a hot digit, an average digit, a cold digit.
You see
It means
Hot (dark red ball)
One of the three digits drawn most often in the window you chose.
Cold (blue ball)
One of the three digits drawn least often in that window.
White ball
Average — neither hot nor cold.
"21 hits"
It was drawn 21 times inside the window (30, 90 or 365 days).
"just hit"
It appeared in the most recent draw.
"6 draws ago"
Six draws have passed since it last appeared.
1st / 2nd / 3rd ball
Position matters for a straight bet, so we also show which digits hit most in each position.
The heat map shows every digit against every position. Darker orange = drawn
more often in that position:
Digit
1st ball
2nd ball
0
91
55
2
68
69
Here digit 0 came up 91 times as the first ball (dark = often) but
only 55 times as the second ball (pale = less often).
A hot digit is not "on a streak" and a cold digit is not "due". The
machine has no memory. These charts describe the past only.
7. Due Sums & Skips
Column
Meaning
Draws out
How many draws in a row that sum has not appeared.
Average gap
How many draws usually pass between its appearances, over all history.
Times due
How many times in history it has gone longer than its average gap.
Highlighted row
The sum that is currently out the longest.
The skip grid is the paper notebook many players keep, made automatically:
one row per draw, one column per digit.

A red ✗ means the digit was in that draw. A small grey number
is the skip — how many draws in a row it had missed at that point.
8. Statistics page
Section
What it tells you
Most drawn combinations
Which sets of digits have come up most in any order, all time.
Most drawn pairs
Which two-digit pairs appear most often within a draw.
Doubles and triples
How often draws have all different digits, two the same, or all three the same.
Sum distribution
A bar chart of how often each sum occurs. Middle sums are most common because there are simply more ways to make them — that is arithmetic, not a trend.
Pattern tables
How often each odd/even and high/low pattern has occurred, with its share of all draws.
9. Number Lookup
Open the Number Lookup tab on any game page.
Type your number (for example 419) and press See full history.
You get every date it was drawn since September 2, 1980, its payouts, and the other orders that win a box bet.
Use the All / Exact order / Any order buttons to filter the list.
Exact order
This badge in the list means the draw matched your number digit for
digit. Rows without it matched the same digits in a different order.
10. Winnings after tax
Enter the prize amount.
Choose your state — the state rate is what changes, not the game.
Read the estimate: state tax, federal withholding if any, and the balance in your pocket.
See the FAQ for the $600 and $5,000 thresholds and why withholding
is not your final tax bill.
