Why the Ball Picker Beats Typing Numbers
Printed tickets are easy to misread when you are working through several plays in a row, and a grid of small number boxes invites duplicate entries on a phone keyboard. The picker above treats your line the way the drawing itself does: five white balls come from one pool, and the red Powerball comes from a separate pool. Once you have chosen five white balls the rest lock until you remove one, so a sixth accidental tap cannot happen. Every line is already valid before you ask us to check your Powerball numbers.
White-ball order does not matter. A ticket reading 2, 9, 18, 41, 67 is the same ticket whether those balls were printed in ascending order or in the order you happen to remember them. We sort the white balls for you before the comparison runs, so the result reads cleanly against the official drawing. The red Powerball stays separate because it has to match the red ball exactly — matching it against a white ball of the same value wins you nothing.
If you want a random line, Quick Pick fills a complete valid set within the official limits: five unique white balls from 1 through 69 and one Powerball from 1 through 26. You can still change any ball afterwards. Nothing you tap is saved. The numbers travel only to the result page, which is marked noindex so it never appears in search.
How We Check Your Powerball Numbers
When you submit the form we compare each of your five white balls against the five drawn that night, ignoring order, then compare your red Powerball against the drawn red ball. Those two counts together decide your prize tier, and there are nine of them. The lowest tier is the red Powerball on its own, which pays $4 — the same $4 whether you matched any white balls or not. The top tier is five white balls plus the Powerball, which takes the jackpot. Everything in between is handled for you, so you do not have to hold the prize chart in your head while you check your Powerball numbers.
The drawing data comes from the New York State Open Data feed, which mirrors the source data the game's operator publishes, and it refreshes every five minutes. In practice that means you can check your Powerball numbers within a few minutes of the broadcast rather than waiting for a morning-after update.
Power Play, and When It Does Nothing
If you paid the extra dollar for Power Play, tick the box above before you submit. We then apply the multiplier actually drawn that night — 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, or 10× — to your prize. Two exceptions are worth knowing before you check your numbers and get surprised. The Match-5 prize is fixed at $2,000,000 with Power Play no matter which multiplier came up, so a 10× night does not turn $1 million into $10 million. And the jackpot itself is never multiplied. The 10× multiplier is only in the pool at all when the advertised annuity is $150 million or less.
Checking an Older Drawing
Tickets do not expire the moment the next draw happens, and unclaimed prizes are common — which is why the date field above matters. Leave it empty and we check against the most recent drawing. Set it, and we check your Powerball numbers against that specific night instead, back to October 2010. If you have found an old ticket in a coat pocket, that is the field to use. Claim deadlines are set by the state that sold the ticket and run from 90 days to a year, so a ticket that looks stale may still be live.
What This Page Does Not Do
We do not store your numbers. We do not log which numbers you check, sync anything to a cloud, or hand data to a third party. The point is to answer one question about your ticket and then forget you were here. There is no account to make, and there never will be. If you would rather not type at all, the photo scanner reads the numbers off a picture of your ticket and hands them back to you to confirm before anything is checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this?
We use official drawing data from the New York State Open Data feed, updated within minutes of each drawing. For any significant prize, confirm with the state lottery that sold your ticket before you celebrate — they are the only authority that can validate a ticket.
Can I check my Powerball numbers from an old drawing?
Yes. Use the optional date field above to check your Powerball numbers against any drawing back to October 2010.
Why does it say "JACKPOT" instead of a dollar amount?
Match 5 plus the Powerball wins the variable jackpot, which depends on the advertised amount at the time and is split if more than one ticket matches. That figure is conditional on facts only the lottery commission can confirm, so we do not print a number we cannot stand behind.
Does the order of my white balls matter?
No. Powerball is drawn without regard to order, so 2, 9, 18, 41, 67 and 67, 41, 18, 9, 2 are the same ticket. We sort them for you.
