Important Mathematical Notice: Lottery drawings are independent, pseudo-random physical events. Every single ball has an identical mathematical probability of being selected on each drawing. Historical frequencies and hot/cold patterns do not predict or increase the probability of future winning outcomes.

About USA Lottery Results & American Jackpot Drawings
Your trusted, independent resource for Powerball and Mega Millions statistics, numbers, and payouts.
How American Multi-State Lotteries Operate
In the United States, Powerball and Mega Millions are the two premier multi-jurisdictional lottery games. Orchestrated collaboratively by participating state lottery commissions and MUSL (Multi-State Lottery Association), these games combine ticket sales from 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands to create jackpots that frequently exceed hundreds of millions of dollars.
Both games feature two distinct prize pools: the rolling jackpot prize (awarded to any ticket that successfully matches all five white balls plus the special ball) and multiple secondary prize tiers ranging from $2 or $4 up to $1,000,000, which can be further amplified using optional multipliers (Power Play and Megaplier).
Independent Verification & Player Protection
USA Lottery Results operates solely as an independent journalistic and informational portal. We do not sell tickets online, nor do we facilitate wagers or charge fees of any kind.
Although we make every reasonable effort to ensure that winning numbers and jackpot values are updated in real-time following official draws in Tallahassee, Florida (Powerball) and Atlanta, Georgia (Mega Millions), players should always retain physical tickets and verify numbers at licensed state lottery retail terminals or through the official website of the state lottery in which the ticket was purchased.
