Lottery Ticket Match & History Checker

Compare a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket with one published drawing, then optionally scan the same numbers across the current-matrix history bundled on this page. This is a pattern check -- not a prize calculator, not a claim service, and not an official validation.

How to use

Choose Mega Millions (5 of 70 + Mega Ball 1-24) or Powerball (5 of 69 + Powerball 1-26).
Select five unique white balls on the grid, then one bonus ball (the bonus may match a white number).
Choose a Recent drawing (latest 20, defaults to the latest) or enter an older Eastern Time drawing date, then press Check. The last field you change is the active source.
Read the selected-drawing comparison first; the historical search uses the same numbers underneath.

Privacy

All matching runs in your browser against the drawing history bundled with this page. Your ticket numbers are not uploaded to a server.

What this is not

Not an official lottery validation or claim service.
Not a payout calculator (multipliers and prize amounts are not in this dataset).
Not a prediction tool. Past similarity does not change future odds; each drawing is an independent trial.

Sources and matrix range

Drawings come from the New York State Open Data portal (Mega Millions and Powerball), limited to each game's current ball matrix: Mega Millions 5 of 70 + 1 of 24 since October 31, 2017 (930 drawings in the bundle, latest September 25, 2026: 25-57-58-67-68 + 16); Powerball 5 of 69 + 1 of 26 since October 7, 2015 (1,407 drawings, latest September 26, 2026: 14-40-52-55-57 + 24). Dates are Eastern Time drawing dates. Mega Millions historical search uses post-2017 white-ball matrix history; the Mega Ball pool changed from 25 to 24 in 2025, so the current input range is 1–24 while past Mega Ball 25 drawings can still appear in the bundle and are not data errors.

Worked example

Suppose you check Mega Millions numbers 25-57-58-67-68 + 16 against the September 25, 2026 drawing (25-57-58-67-68 + 16). If those are the official numbers, the selected result reads "5 white + Mega Ball matched" as a pattern description only. The historical section then ranks every current-matrix drawing by white-match count, then bonus match, then newest date, and lists up to ten rows.

FAQ

Does a full match mean I won money?: No. This tool never states that you won and never shows dollar prizes. Confirm with your state lottery.
Can the bonus ball equal one of my white balls?: Yes. White balls must be unique among themselves; the bonus may repeat a white number.
Why aren't prize amounts shown?: Payouts and multipliers are not in the bundled drawing file. Use the official prize chart links for published tiers.
Is my ticket sent anywhere?: No. Comparison stays in your browser.
