Checking your numbers is free, unlimited, and needs no account at all. An account is free too, and it is what lets us watch a ticket and email you if it wins. MilliCheck+ is a paid plan for people who save a lot of tickets; nobody needs it to get an answer.

Do you store the numbers I enter?

Not when you are checking. They are compared in memory and discarded when the page loads, and nothing goes to our database or our logs. A ticket you deliberately save is stored, because storing it is the whole point of saving it.

Will you tell me if I win?

If you saved the ticket, yes. We check it after every drawing it is entered in and email you if it wins anything at all. The email is a convenience; your wallet on this site is the record, because mail bounces and claim windows close.

Can I take a picture of my ticket instead of typing it?

Yes, with a free account, which includes five reads. You always see the numbers we read and correct them before anything is saved. Typing needs no account and gets exactly the same answer.

Where do the results come from?

Official sources: the lottery operators and state open data portals. Your physical ticket is still the only thing you can claim with.

How long do I have to claim a prize?

Between 90 days and a year, and it is set by the state where you bought the ticket rather than by the game. We publish the exact deadline for each state we cover, with the page we read it off and the date somebody checked it.

What time do ticket sales stop before a drawing?

It is per state and per game, and the two are rarely the same. Michigan closes Powerball at 9:58pm and Mega Millions at 10:45pm for two drawings a minute apart. Pick your state on the home page and we will tell you, or say plainly that we have not checked it yet.

Why bother

Most unclaimed prizes are small ones.

Nobody forgets to check after a billion dollar roll. The tickets that expire are the four dollar ones, bought on a Tuesday and left in a coat pocket.

Order never matters

A ticket played 25-10-05-20-15 against a drawing of 05-10-15-20-25 is a five number match. People compare position by position, see two that line up, and bin a winner.

The bonus ball is its own machine

A 7 among your main numbers does not match a 7 drawn as the bonus ball. It also means the bonus ball alone can be a winning ticket, which a lot of people never check for.

Your state changes the answer

A Pennsylvania retailer can hand you $2,500 in cash. A Vermont one can hand you $499. Same ticket, same prize. The rules by state.
