Powerball and Mega Millions are sold in North Dakota and every other lottery state. Their jackpots are far larger, and so are the odds against winning them.

Method

How these North Dakota odds are calculated

Overall odds add up the chance of every prize tier in a game's published prize table, or use the lottery's stated overall odds when it publishes one. Top prize odds are the odds of matching every number. Draw-time versions of the same game (midday and evening) share the same odds, so each game appears once. Keno-style games are left out because their odds depend on how many spots you pick, and Double Play add-ons are covered under their main game.

Better odds do not mean better value. Smaller games pay smaller prizes, and every game returns less than it costs on average. To see what a prize is worth after tax, use the North Dakota lottery tax calculator.

North Dakota Lottery Odds FAQ

Short answers about which North Dakota games have the best odds and how they compare with national games.

Are North Dakota games easier to win than Powerball?

Yes. North Dakota's own draw games use smaller number pools, so their jackpot odds are far better than Powerball's 1 in 292,201,338. Their top prizes are much smaller too.

Do Quick Picks change the odds?

No. Every valid combination has the same chance of being drawn. Choosing a game with smaller number pools is the only way to get better odds per play.
