How to Use the Lottery Number Generator
- Select Powerball, Mega Millions, or Custom. Presets autofill the fields with official ranges.
- Adjust main and special ranges if you’re running a raffle or international lottery with different balls.
- Choose how many tickets to create (up to 10 per batch) and press Generate Tickets or tap the space bar.
- Copy the batch with one click to drop into spreadsheets, text messages, or QA test cases.
- Use the history section to revisit previous draws, helpful for math classes demonstrating probability or for stream overlays.
Powerball vs. Mega Millions Explained
Powerball tickets consist of five unique numbers from 1-69 plus a Powerball from 1-26. Mega Millions uses five unique numbers from 1-70 plus a Mega Ball from 1-25. This generator respects those unique draws, so you’ll never see duplicate main numbers in a single ticket. Special balls may repeat between tickets, mirroring real-world lotteries.
For classroom lessons or D&D magic-item raffles, switch to Custom mode. Set the main count to however many tokens you need, define the range, and specify whether you want one or two special balls (useful for tiered rewards). Because results are sorted automatically, it’s easy to compare tickets at a glance.
Use Cases & Tips
Educators can demonstrate probability by generating multiple batches, then asking students to plot frequency of each number. Streamers can display live ticket rolls during charity events. Product teams can QA promotional raffles by ensuring numbers stay unique. For tabletop RPGs, copy a ticket and let each main number correspond to a treasure tier or encounter.
Pair the tool with the Random Number Generator when you need serial IDs alongside tickets, or the Decision Wheel to pick which prize each ticket claims. Planning prize distribution? Use the Random Team Generator to assign players to ticket batches, then store the run using the onsite history so there’s an audit trail.
