A clearer way to play.

Welcome to the Help center.

A little clarity goes a long way

Feel at home with your next playcard.

Explore the numbers, understand the process, and enjoy a daily ritual that stays within your budget. Start with a free account and let us walk you through the rest.

From draw history to your numbers

  1. Start with validated results

    We use New York State Open Data draw history and check number ranges, dates, and duplicates. Only draws under the game’s current number rules enter the ranking.

  2. Create valid candidate combinations

    The engine uses seeded random sampling to build a pool of up to 2,500 candidate playcards. Every card has five distinct main numbers and one bonus ball. For ranked strategies, about 70% of candidate samples weight main numbers by their last 52 draws; the remaining samples use equal weights. Bonus balls are sampled uniformly. Randomness is part of this process.

  3. Compare historical patterns

    Regular rolls use balanced ranking: long-term and recent frequency, gaps since appearances, sums, odd/even balance, recurring pairs, and overlap with recent draws. Similar copies of recent results receive penalties.

  4. Select a varied set and show the work

    The engine ranks candidates and favors variety across your cards. Open “Why these numbers?” to see the strategy and recent appearance counts. A rank score describes our selection criteria; it is not your chance of winning.

Fair lottery draws are random. A number appearing often—or being absent for a while—does not make it more likely next time. We have not established an advantage over uniform random picks.

A strategy for every kind of curiosity

Balanced: our free regular roll combines several historical signals.

Frequency: puts greater emphasis on recent appearances.

ML + historical: blends a temporal CatBoost model with historical ranking; it pauses if its training data is out of date.

Uniform random: a benchmark without historical ranking.

Coverage: spreads numbers across a batch, using historical rank to break ties. It does not improve an individual card’s odds.

Additional strategies and customization are planned for Premium. Visit the Research lab for comparisons and uncertainty, rather than promises.

Your questions, answered

What is free?

Registered regular accounts receive two playcards daily, shared across Powerball and Mega Millions. Choose one card twice or two cards together. A free account is required to view state-specific local-game history; rolling state-local games is planned for Premium and remains unavailable while enrollment is coming soon. Saved playcards, downloads, national-game research, the account match inbox, and account data controls remain free.

When does my allowance reset?

At midnight in America/New_York, including daylight saving changes. A roll that produces two cards uses both daily playcards. Deleting a card does not restore the allowance.

Does a playcard buy a ticket?

No. This app does not sell tickets or place bets. If you choose to play, purchase through an authorized retailer and check the official rules and results.

What does the jackpot amount mean?

The headline is the estimated advertised annuity jackpot for the displayed next draw. The cash option is a separate estimate before taxes. Estimates may change; always confirm with the official game website.

How do match alerts work?

Opt in under Match alerts to receive account alerts when your saved playcards match their next eligible official draw. The regular threshold is two or more combined main and bonus matches. Email and device delivery are separate opt-in settings. An alert does not verify ticket ownership or a prize.

When can I join Premium?

Premium is coming soon. Monthly and annual options are planned, with pricing and final allowances announced before signup opens. No payment or subscription enrollment is available yet.

What about account verification?

Email registration with confirmation is being prepared. Today’s preview uses the existing sign-in. The age declaration is a separate self-declaration for adults 21+, not identity verification.

What is the generated-playcard prize total?

It is an illustration comparing each retained generated card with its next eligible draw, including zero-prize cards, whether or not a ticket was bought. Powerball uses base prizes; Mega Millions assumes the minimum 2× multiplier. Jackpots and California pari-mutuel payouts are excluded from the dollar model. Hypothetical ticket costs are shown for context. The total is not actual winnings or proof of an advantage. Individual matches and numbers are shared only with member consent.

Can I share a win?

On a saved playcard marked as purchased, choose “I won a prize with this ticket.” The app checks that the next eligible official draw matches a prize tier. Enable public match sharing to show a redacted handle, and separately opt in to show matched numbers. Ticket ownership and payouts remain self-reported; these are not verified prize claims.

Can I control my data?

Use My account or My playcards to export your account data, archive older cards, restore deleted items, or permanently delete eligible data. Account closure includes an explanation and confirmation before deletion.
