About the Lottery Numbers API

Pass a supported game identifier—powerball, megamillions, euromillions, or lottomax. The lookup returns the latest drawn numbers, game-specific bonus balls, draw date, and jackpot totals updated daily. EuroMillions draws include Lucky Stars, while Powerball and Mega Millions return their respective special balls. Paid plans can pass a past date for historical drawings or access upcoming draw estimates.

What people use it for

Ticket Verification Portals: Lottery tracking apps compare user-submitted ticket numbers against returned winning numbers and bonus balls to alert players to matching prizes.
News Media Drawboards: When a major draw concludes, regional news outlets display winning numbers and jackpot values on automated result widgets.
Convenience Retail Displays: Broadcast updated winning numbers and current jackpot totals on in-store digital screens to inform lottery customers at the checkout counter.
Office Lottery Syndicates: Pool managers verify group ticket entries against the latest draw dates and winning number arrays to automate weekly payout calculations.

Questions.

Common questions about the Lottery Numbers API.

Read the docs →

Which lotteries does the API cover?

It covers four major games: Powerball, Mega Millions, EuroMillions, and Canada Lotto Max. Every plan can fetch the latest draw results; paid plans can look up historical winning numbers for any specific date.

Is it cheap enough to check lottery numbers daily across all games?

Yes. At 2 credits per call, the Starter plan covers 100,000 checks each month, working out to about $0.30 per 1,000 calls. The Free plan provides 100 calls each month, which is enough to evaluate the endpoints during development.

Can I get upcoming jackpot estimates on the Free plan?

No. The Free plan only returns the most recent winning numbers, bonus numbers, and jackpot amounts. Estimated details for upcoming draws—including the next draw date, estimated jackpot, and cash value—along with the historical date parameter, require a paid plan.

Why is the next draw object sometimes missing from the response?

The next draw object is temporarily absent immediately following a drawing while the lottery operator resets and calculates the upcoming jackpot. In addition, cash value fields are only returned for Powerball and Mega Millions, and draw dates may be null if a source reports relative timing.

Can I display these lottery results in my commercial app or website?

Yes, as long as you are on a paid plan. Commercial use is permitted on Starter and above. You can display draw numbers, bonus balls, and jackpot values within your user-facing product, but you cannot redistribute or resell the raw data as-is.

Request parameters — GET /v1/lottery

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`numbers`Required	string	`powerball`	The lottery game to lookup: powerball, megamillions, euromillions, or lottomax `powerballmegamillionseuromillionslottomax`

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`date`OptionalPremium	string	`2024-01-15`	Optional date for historical lookup (YYYY-MM-DD). Returns the nearest draw to this date. date

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/lottery?numbers=powerball&date=2024-01-15" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/lottery

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "lotteryType": "megamillions",
    "drawDate": "2026-02-04",
    "numbers": [
      10,
      50,
      55,
      58,
      59,
      5
    ],
    "megaBall": 5,
    "jackpot": "$70 Million",
    "jackpotValue": 70000000,
    "jackpotFormatted": "$70 Million",
    "nextDraw": {
      "drawDate": "2026-02-07",
      "jackpot": "$82 Million",
      "jackpotValue": 82000000,
      "cashValue": "$37.2 Million",
      "cashValueValue": 37200000
    }
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`lotteryType`	string	`"megamillions"`	Which lottery game this result is for: powerball, megamillions, euromillions, or lottomax
`drawDate`	string	`"2026-02-04"`	Date of the drawing
`numbers`	array	`[10, ...]`	Array of winning main numbers (for Powerball and Mega Millions, also includes the bonus ball as the final entry)
`megaBall`	number	`5`	The Mega Ball number drawn. Mega Millions only
`jackpot`	string	`"$70 Million"`	Jackpot amount for this drawing
`jackpotValue`	number	`70000000`	Jackpot amount for this drawing as a numeric value
`jackpotFormatted`	string	`"$70 Million"`	Jackpot amount for this drawing, formatted as a currency string (same value as `jackpot`)
`nextDraw`Premium	object	`{...}`	Estimated details for the upcoming, not-yet-drawn draw. Absent for a short window after each draw, while the operator recalculates the estimate
`drawDate`Premium	string	`"2026-02-07"`	Date of the upcoming draw (best-effort; may be null when the source lists it only as a relative time)
`jackpot`Premium	string	`"$82 Million"`	Estimated jackpot for the upcoming draw
`jackpotValue`Premium	number	`82000000`	Estimated jackpot for the upcoming draw as a numeric value
`cashValue`Premium	string	`"$37.2 Million"`	Estimated cash (lump-sum) value for the upcoming draw. Powerball and Mega Millions only
`cashValueValue`Premium	number	`37200000`	Estimated cash value for the upcoming draw as a numeric value. Powerball and Mega Millions only

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Lottery Numbers calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
