Lottery Ticket Checker
Pick your game, enter the numbers on your ticket, and see exactly what you matched in the latest draw. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored. The comparison happens in your browser against the draw already published on this page, so it works instantly even at 21:05 on a draw night when everyone is checking at once.

How to check a lottery ticket
Pick your game above, then type the numbers exactly as they are printed on your ticket. Order does not matter: the checker compares your numbers as a set against the most recent draw we hold for that game, and tells you how many you matched, which division that puts you in and what that division paid.
It all happens in your browser. Your numbers are never sent to us or to anyone else, nothing is saved, and there is no account to create. Close the tab and the numbers are gone.
What counts as a match in each game
The games do not share a board, which is why the same number of matches is worth completely different things depending on what you played. Five numbers is the jackpot on Daily Lotto and a mid-table division on Lotto. This is what each ticket is checked against.
| Game | Numbers on a ticket | Drawn from | Bonus ball |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lotto | 6 | 1 to 52 | Bonus ball, drawn from the same 1 to 52 pool |
| Lotto Plus 1 | 6 | 1 to 52 | Bonus ball, drawn from the same 1 to 52 pool |
| Lotto 5 Max | 6 | 1 to 52 | Bonus ball, drawn from the same 1 to 52 pool |
| PowerBall | 5 | 1 to 50 | PowerBall, drawn from a separate 1 to 20 barrel |
| PowerBall Xtra | 5 | 1 to 50 | PowerBall, drawn from a separate 1 to 20 barrel |
| Daily Lotto | 5 | 1 to 36 | None |
One catch worth knowing: Lotto 5 Max draws six numbers, not five, despite the name. Enter all six.
Lotto and Lotto Plus 1 used to be drawn from 1 to 58 and moved to 1 to 52 on 1 June 2026, so a ticket bought before then can carry numbers that are no longer on the board.
One ticket can win in more than one game
Lotto, Lotto Plus 1 and Lotto 5 Max are drawn together on Wednesday and Saturday, so one ticket can be entered into all of them. Check the same numbers on each, because they are separate draws with separate prize tables.
PowerBall and PowerBall Xtra are drawn together on Tuesday and Friday, so one ticket can be entered into both. Check the same numbers on each, because they are separate draws with separate prize tables.
Daily Lotto is drawn on its own, so there is no second game to check the same ticket against.
Before you claim anything
This checker is a convenience, not proof. It compares your numbers against the draw we have stored, and the operator is the only authority on whether a ticket has won. Always confirm at a retailer or with the National Lottery before you act on a result, and keep the ticket: a printed ticket is what gets paid, not a screen.
