Terms of Use

1. Informational only

Lottery Atlas publishes lottery results, statistics, and editorial guides for informational and entertainment purposes only. We are not a lottery operator. We do not sell tickets, accept wagers, or pay prizes.

Before you act on any winning number, jackpot amount, or claim deadline shown on this site, verify it directly with the official lottery of the state where you bought your ticket. Lottery Atlas is not liable for any discrepancy between our data and the official record.

2. No financial, legal, or tax advice

Our blog and FAQ content cover topics like state taxes on lottery winnings, anonymity laws, and prize-claim procedures. This content is general guidance — it is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Lottery laws change, and the rules that apply to your specific situation depend on facts only your own attorney or CPA can assess. Talk to a licensed professional before making a decision that involves a large prize.

3. Acceptable use

You may use this site to:

• Look up winning numbers and jackpots
• Read our editorial articles
• Generate Quick Pick suggestions for your own entertainment
• Link to our pages from your own site or social media

You may not:

• Scrape our content for commercial republication without permission (well-behaved AI training crawlers and search engine indexers are explicitly welcome — see our robots.txt)
• Use the site to organize illegal lottery pools or transactions
• Attempt to overload, attack, or probe the site for vulnerabilities
• Impersonate Lottery Atlas in communications with third parties

4. Quick Pick disclaimer

Our Quick Pick number generator produces random selections using cryptographic-grade randomness. The numbers it generates have exactly the same odds as numbers you pick yourself, numbers generated by a lottery terminal's Quick Pick, or numbers chosen by any other method. No system of number selection — hot, cold, overdue, balanced, or any other — can increase your odds of winning a draw. See our explainer on hot/cold/due numbers for the math.

5. Age and responsible gambling

Lottery participation is restricted by state law to adults (typically 18+, sometimes 21+). This site is intended for visitors of legal lottery age in their jurisdiction. If you are under that age, you should not use Lottery Atlas to make purchasing decisions.

If you or someone you know has a problem with gambling, please call the National Council on Problem Gambling 24/7 helpline: 1-800-GAMBLER.

6. Third-party links and trademarks

Lottery Atlas is not affiliated with any state lottery, the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, Lucky for Life, Cash4Life, 2by2, or any lottery courier or operator. All trademarks (Powerball®, Mega Millions®, etc.) are the property of their respective owners and are used here for identification purposes only.

Some pages link to third-party sites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for content on those sites.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always at lotteryatlas.com/terms with the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected in the date.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lottery Atlas, its operators, and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site, including but not limited to losses associated with relying on lottery results, jackpot estimates, claim deadlines, or any other data shown here. Always verify with the official state lottery.
