Check lottery tickets online for Powerball, Mega Millions, and 300+ U.S. games. Use the latest draw by default or choose an older draw date to check old lottery tickets before you verify any winner with the official lottery.
A lottery ticket checker is an online tool that compares your ticket numbers against official draw results to show whether you matched any winning numbers. This free lottery ticket checker lets you check lottery tickets online for Powerball, Mega Millions, and 300+ state lottery games. You can check the latest drawing or choose an older draw date when you need to check an old lottery ticket, then confirm any possible winner with the official lottery before claiming.
Checking a lottery ticket online is simple: choose the game, enter the numbers on your ticket, and compare them against the latest draw or a past drawing in under a minute.
Search for or choose your game from the checker. Powerball, Mega Millions, and hundreds of state lottery games are available in one place.
Type your ticket numbers into the fields or paste comma-separated numbers to auto-fill. If your ticket is from an older drawing, choose the matching draw date before you check.
Click "Check My Numbers" to compare your ticket against the selected official drawing. Review your matches, then verify any possible winner with the official lottery source.
Use the checker to verify Powerball tickets, Mega Millions tickets, and Millionaire for Life against the latest drawing or an older result from the archive.
We also support 300+ state-specific games including California SuperLotto Plus, Florida Lotto, New York Lotto, Texas Lotto, Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash 5 variants, and more across 46 U.S. lottery jurisdictions. If you need the broader results context first, browse the lottery numbers directory before checking your ticket.

When you check your ticket, our tool shows how many numbers matched. This determines your prize tier. Below are typical prize amounts for Powerball as an example—other games like Mega Millions have similar tier structures.
Prize amounts shown are fixed base prizes for Powerball. Grand Prize (jackpot) varies by drawing based on ticket sales and rollovers. Power Play multiplier can increase non-jackpot prizes 2x-10x.
