Lottery API

Official US lottery winning numbers, draw history, Powerball prize tiers and current jackpots as JSON.

The API.SH Lottery API returns official winning numbers, newest first, for Powerball (with Power Ball, multiplier and Double Play), Mega Millions (Mega Ball and multiplier), New York Lotto, Cash4Life, Take 5, Numbers and Win 4, and Pick 10, with full history back to each game's start in the New York data. Ask for one date or a date range. For one Powerball draw it can add the jackpot, cash value and prize tiers with winners per match level. A second endpoint gives the current estimated jackpots and cash values for the next draw of Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, Millionaire for Life, 2by2 and Jackpot USA.

API.SH vs the official Lottery API

Most US lotteries publish results on their websites rather than through a documented public API; New York publishes its draw history as open data, which this endpoint uses for the New York games. API.SH returns these official numbers and jackpots in one JSON shape with date filters and pagination.

Downtack and RapidAPI lottery listings cover UK and European games; GitHub projects cover single national lotteries. API.SH covers the US games listed here (not EuroMillions or the UK National Lottery) with one key shared with the rest of its data.

Lottery API questions

What lottery data can I get?+

Winning numbers and draw history for Powerball, Mega Millions, New York Lotto, Cash4Life, Take 5, Numbers and Win 4, and Pick 10 (/lottery/v1/results), current jackpots for the next draw of the multi-state games (/lottery/v1/jackpots), and the list of covered games (/lottery/v1/games).

How much does the lottery results API cost?+

Every Lottery endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free lottery results API?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /lottery/v1/games at 1 credit each. Some free projects on GitHub cover single lotteries; API.SH gives you US results, history and jackpots behind one key.

Where does the data come from?+

Official published winning numbers and prize figures for each game; full draw history for the games in the New York data, plus each game's published jackpot estimates for the next draw.

Do I need keys for the underlying sources?+

No. One API.SH key covers every lottery endpoint. There is nothing to register with the lotteries themselves.

Is there a Powerball API?+

Yes. Call /lottery/v1/results with game=powerball for winning numbers, Power Ball, multiplier and Double Play, add a date and prizes=true for jackpot, cash value and prize tiers, and use /lottery/v1/jackpots for the next estimated jackpot.

Can I get historical lottery results?+

Yes. Pass from and to dates and page through the results with next_page. History goes back to each game's start in the New York data. API.SH provides data only and does not predict numbers.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /lottery/v1/results with game=powerball. Every parameter and request example is in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp so an AI agent can call it.
