How to use this board for jackpot analysis
For quick jackpot analysis, use this order: headline jackpot, after-tax cash, odds, then net EV. The strongest relative option is usually the least negative EV among lotteries you'd actually play.
- After-tax cash first: headline jackpots are usually annuity figures, so take-home can be much lower.
- Net EV last: use it as the final ranking check after payout and odds context.
- Payout reality: compare headline jackpot, cash option, and estimated after-tax value separately.
- Integrity context: use fairness signals after value ranking, not as a profit signal.
Two jackpots can look similar at first glance, then separate quickly once cash discount, taxes, and odds are applied.
* All lottery tickets typically have negative expected value. Green indicators highlight relatively better mathematical value, not a prediction of profit. Odds shown are for the jackpot only. Some lotteries offer better odds but smaller top prizes.
Notes: Net cash and Net EV are estimates based on published rules and current jackpot info; for pooled lotteries, net cash can vary by claim location. Cross-currency sorting uses approximate USD-normalized conversions, while displayed jackpot, cash, and EV amounts remain in local currency.
Lottery Jackpots: Latest Outcomes
Each card captures the latest result, jackpot movement, and direct access to the full draw record.
The latest Powerball draw leaned heavily on even numbers and the higher tens. This 4-even/1-odd split is less common than a balanced mix, but it fits perfectly within the bounds of a fair, random draw.
View latest resultsThe latest Mega Millions draw ended a long dry spell for several numbers, with four out of five main picks having been absent for 19 draws or more. Despite this return of quiet numbers, the jackpot remains unclaimed for the fifth straight time, pushing the upcoming prize to nearly half a billion dollars.
View latest resultsFive-Draw Rollover Pushes Jackpot to €89M The latest EuroMillions draw leaned heavily toward the higher and even numbers. This 4-High / 1-Low and 4-Even / 1-Odd combination is less common than a balanced split, but it still fits within the normal range of random variation.
View latest resultsThe latest Lotto Max draw leaned heavily into even numbers, with five out of seven landing on that side of the fence. While this 5-Even / 2-Odd split is less common than a perfectly balanced mix, it remains well within the bounds of normal random variation.
View latest resultsThe New York Lotto continues its dry spell, rolling over for the fifth consecutive time. The latest draw skewed toward higher numbers and odd values—a combination that kept the top prize out of reach and pushed the upcoming Wednesday jackpot to an estimated $12 million.

Lottery Jackpots FAQ
Which jackpot ranks best after tax right now?
Fantasy 5 - FL currently leads on tracked net EV at -$0.40 per ticket. It is still below zero, but strongest on a relative basis today.
Why can a bigger jackpot still be a worse bet?
A bigger headline jackpot can still be weaker when cash discount, taxes, or odds are worse. Always compare headline, cash, after-tax value, and net EV together.
How does after-tax cash change expected value?
EV should be based on what you can keep, not the annuity headline. After-tax cash usually lowers average ticket value and can change rankings.
What does less negative EV mean in practice?
It means the ticket is expected to lose less on average than alternatives. It is a ranking metric, not a profit signal.
Are jackpot odds or EV more important for decision-making?
Use both. Fantasy 5 - FL has the best tracked jackpot odds at 1 in 376,922, but net EV is the stronger summary because it combines payout, odds, and tax assumptions.
