Did your numbers win?

Powerball has nine prize tiers. Below the jackpot, match 5 pays $1,000,000, 4 plus the Powerball pays $50,000, 3 pays $7, and matching the Powerball alone pays $4. The two smallest tiers are fixed, and the jackpot is the advertised pool divided between everyone who hits it. Power Play multiplies every prize except the jackpot. The full table for the most recent draw is on this page, taken from the operator's own published breakdown.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338, because there are that many distinct ways to pick 5 numbers from 69 plus one Powerball from 26. The odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 25, which is mostly the $4 tiers. Every combination carries exactly these odds in every draw, no matter what has been drawn before.

Two white balls alone win nothing in Powerball, and neither does one. What pays is the Powerball itself: matching just the red Powerball wins $4, and so does 1 white ball plus the Powerball. Two white balls plus the Powerball wins $7. Millionaire for Life is different and does pay on two white balls alone, which is why a checker has to use each game's own prize table rather than assume they work alike.

Powerball is drawn Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59pm ET. Mega Millions is drawn Tuesday and Friday at 11:00pm ET. Millionaire for Life is drawn every night at 11:15pm ET. Results usually appear here within minutes of the operator publishing them.

Power Play is a $1-per-line add-on that multiplies every non-jackpot Powerball prize by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10, drawn separately each night. The 10x multiplier is only in the pool when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less, and the match-5 prize is capped at $2 million with Power Play rather than multiplied. It does not change your odds of winning anything, only what a win pays.

It depends on where the ticket was bought, not where the draw happened. Claim periods run from 90 days to one year after the draw date, set by each individual jurisdiction. Check the back of the ticket or the selling lottery’s own rules, and do it early: unclaimed jackpots are forfeited and returned to the participating lotteries.

Mega Millions jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336, from 5 numbers out of 70 plus a Mega Ball from 24. There are nine tiers, the smallest being the Mega Ball alone. In the most recent draw, 4 plus the Mega Ball paid $10,000. Since the April 2025 changes every ticket carries a random multiplier from 2x to 10x, so published tier amounts already include it.

Lucky for Life and Cash4Life were both retired on 21 February 2026 and replaced by a single national game, Millionaire for Life, first drawn the following night. It is drawn every night at 11:15pm ET: 5 numbers from 58 plus a Millionaire Ball from 5, with jackpot odds of 1 in 22,910,580. The top prize is $1 million a year for life, or $18,000,000 in cash. It is sold in 31 jurisdictions.

Enter your five white-ball numbers and your Powerball into the checker at the top of this page and press check. It compares them against the most recently published draw and tells you which prize tier you hit and what that tier paid. It is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser, so your numbers are never sent anywhere. Checking here is not validation: only the lottery that issued the ticket can validate it and pay a prize, so never discard a ticket based on what any website tells you.

Yes. The LottoScan iOS app reads a printed draw-game ticket with the camera and checks every line against every draw the ticket covers, which beats typing thirty numbers off a multi-line advance-play ticket. Scanning needs a real camera pass to survive glare, curl and faded thermal printing, so it lives in the app; this website handles manual entry. A scan is a reading aid, not a validation, and can misread a digit.

No. Lottery draws are independent events, so nothing that has been drawn before changes what comes next, and every combination has exactly the same probability in every draw. "Hot", "cold" and "overdue" describe what the historical record happens to contain, not what is likely. A number that has not appeared for a year is not due, and one drawn last week is not on a streak. LottoScan publishes frequency statistics because they are genuinely interesting, and states plainly that they carry no predictive power.
