What it actually costs you
Record what you buy, load the official result with one click, and see your real net position. Most people have never added it up. The number is usually larger than they expect.

Save a drawing below and this fills in. Over a few months it becomes the most useful number on this site—and the one no lottery advertises.

Saved in this browser only, never sent to us. Clearing your browser data deletes it, so export a backup if it matters. After a drawing, press Load official result and we fill in the winning numbers from our own archive.
Optional
Need a set of numbers?
This will not improve your odds.
Five distinct tickets are five chances however you arrange the
numbers—the jackpot odds of 1 in 292,201,338 per line
are unaffected. Spreading numbers only changes the shape of the
smaller outcomes: slightly more chance of matching something on some
ticket, slightly less chance of several hitting at once.
The expected return is identical either way. It is a
preference, not a strategy.
Optional fixed numbers
These appear on every ticket, which necessarily narrows the spread.
Generate a set, or just save what you actually bought.
Never forget to log one
A nudge when there is something to record.
We email you the winning numbers after each drawing so you can update your record while you still remember buying the ticket. What you record stays in your browser — we never see it.
Why this page exists
Everywhere else on this site we tell you the odds do not change. That is true, and it is abstract. This page makes it concrete: it adds up what you have spent and what came back.
We do not project winnings, and we will not tell you a system works. The only forecast here is your spending rate, and it is arithmetic on your own entries. If the total bothers you, that is the honest result working. Free, confidential help is at 1-800-GAMBLER, any hour.
Want the parts of this site where analysis actually changes the answer? Scratch-off remaining prizes is the one place where knowing something genuinely makes a game a better or worse buy.
A record of spending, not a plan for winning.
Verify every ticket with the official lottery before claiming a prize. Never spend more than you can comfortably lose.
