1. Source collection
We prioritize official state lottery sites, multi-state game operators, platform operator disclosures, and other primary documentation when results, rules, fees, or eligibility matter.
Methodology
Review Methodology
This page explains how Lottery Valley validates information, differentiates official data from editorial interpretation, and handles higher-scrutiny content where a weak process would undermine trust.
Last reviewed: March 11, 2026
2. Context review
We compare the raw source information against the page type. A results page, review page, responsible-play page, and tax page do not carry the same user risk and should not be framed the same way.
3. User-facing explanation
We convert the source material into plain language, then add scope limits so users know what is official, what is interpretive, and what still requires direct verification.
4. Freshness checks
Draw-driven content is updated after official publications. Offer pages, review pages, and tax-related material require revisits whenever rules, terms, or source documents change.
How this applies by page type
Lottery results and draw pages
Game guides and state reference pages
Lottery news and explainer content
Affiliate and online-play review pages
Tools, generators, and calculators
Responsible-play and disclosure content
For tax-related tools, online-play reviews, or anything that could influence money decisions, Lottery Valley should always push users back to official rules, licensed operator terms, and qualified professional advice where relevant.
