The short answer. Lotto America is drawn Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:15 PM US
Eastern, so the result is on the Lotto America results page by
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday morning in the UAE, India and Pakistan. Match your ticket’s US date,
count your five main numbers, then compare the Star Ball on its own: it comes from a pool of just
10.
Which mornings is the Lotto America result up?
The three nights Lotto America is drawn, read from the game registry.
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, which gives a reader here Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. The
interesting part is that those are Powerball’s nights too, and Lotto America goes first:
44 minutes earlier on each of the three evenings. By the time you wake up both
results are sitting in the archive from the same American night, which is convenient if you follow both
games and a nuisance if you hold a ticket for one and read the card for the other.
The Lotto America draw converted to your clock for today
Converted for 14 November 2026. US clocks change in March and November, which moves every US draw by an hour against the Gulf and India; this table is recalculated every time the page loads.
Being 44 minutes earlier than Powerball also makes it the first of the late
multi-state draws to appear, so on a slow morning it is the one that is already published while the bigger
game is still being confirmed. Local times move by an hour when the United States changes its clocks in
March and November, and the table recalculates them on every page load rather than leaving them written
into the text.
How do I tell Lotto America from Powerball on the same morning?
Powerball draw days, for comparison: the same three nights as Lotto America, which is the root of most mix-ups.
The nights are identical, so the nights cannot help you. The second pool can, and it is decisive. Three
games on this site print five numbers plus one ball from a separate drum, and the three drums are nothing
like the same size.
Three games that print five numbers and one extra ball
Read the last number on the card and most of the work is done. Eleven or higher cannot be a Star Ball, so
it is not Lotto America. Six or higher cannot be a Mill Ball, so it is not
Millionaire for Life, which is a New York game drawn on
different nights anyway and is covered in
our guide to the game that replaced
Cash4Life. And a main number above 52 rules Lotto America out completely, because
its drum ends there while Powerball reaches 69.
A number of five or lower in that last position is genuinely ambiguous on shape alone, and then the state
printed on the ticket settles it. That is the one thing a forwarded screenshot never carries, which is why
a screenshot is a poor way to settle a ticket.
Where do I read the Lotto America numbers?
The Lotto America result card: five main numbers, the Star Ball marked SB, and the US draw date.
The Lotto America results page holds all of it. The newest draw is a
card at the top with its date on it, recent draws follow in a table, and the archive continues under that
in date order.
We hold 78 recorded Lotto America draws there.
On our cards the Star Ball is printed after the five main numbers with SB in front of it, which is the
small visual habit that keeps the two pools apart on screen.
Our registry records no published multiplier for Lotto America, so the card is exactly six figures and a
date: nothing else appears beside the numbers, and nothing else needs to. If a card you are looking at
carries an extra label, you are reading a different game.
Most recent Lotto America draw on record: 11 Nov 2026 — 27, 32, 39, 44, 47 + SB 3.
How do I check a Lotto America line?
Find the draw date on the slip and the matching date on the card. It is an American
date, so a Saturday ticket belongs to the row you read on Sunday morning.
Check the last number on the card is ten or lower. That is the quickest confirmation
that you have Lotto America and not one of the games it sits beside in the week.
Count your five main numbers against the five drawn. Order is irrelevant. Tick your
own numbers off one by one so a single drawn ball cannot be counted twice.
Compare your Star Ball with the drawn Star Ball alone. This is a separate question
with a separate answer, and it is the whole reason the SB label exists on the card.
Hold the answer as a pair. Three main numbers plus the Star Ball, or four main
numbers and no Star Ball. Prize levels are defined by that pair, not by a single total.
Ask the state lottery that sold the ticket about anything that looks like a win. Each
member lottery runs its own claims, so the state on the slip is the address.
Lotto America top-prize odds: there are 2,598,960 ways to choose 5 numbers from 1–52, and the Star Ball is drawn from a separate pool of 10, so matching everything is 1 in 25,989,600. This is arithmetic on the game’s format, not a claim about any draw.
The small Star Ball pool is what makes this game’s top prize roughly 11 times
more reachable than Powerball’s, and it is also what makes step four easy to get wrong: with only
10 possible Star Balls, a number that appears on both sides of a result is a weekly
occurrence rather than a curiosity. The Lotto America guide works
through the format in more detail.
What goes wrong with Lotto America checks?
The Star Ball counted as a sixth main number
The commonest error in any game with two pools, and the small drum makes it commoner here. Somebody
whose fifth main number equals the drawn Star Ball counts a match that does not exist; somebody whose
Star Ball is correct, but who matched nothing in the main five, assumes there is nothing to claim. Keep
the two comparisons apart and both problems disappear.
Settling a Lotto America ticket against Powerball’s card
Shared nights and a shared shape make this easy to do without noticing, especially on a Sunday morning
when both results arrived within the hour. The two games have no numbers in common and no relationship
beyond the association that runs them. The game name above the card is the check that costs nothing.
Waiting for a figure that is never published
Readers who come from Powerball sometimes look for an add-on value beside the numbers and conclude the
result is incomplete when they cannot find one. Our Lotto America cards carry five numbers, a Star Ball
and a date. What a given combination pays, and what add-ons exist where a ticket was bought, is for the
selling lottery to state.
What does the Lotto America archive show?
Times each Lotto America main number has been drawn across our recorded draws, with the even-chance line marked.
History, and only history. Every draw we hold stays on the results page under its own American date, so a
ticket from a month ago has a definite answer rather than a vague one. Where the archive carries enough
draws to count, we also publish how often each main number has appeared, with an even-chance line across
it so you can see how uneven a fair count looks.
The temptation is stronger in a game this size. Fifty-two main numbers and ten Star Balls feel countable
in a way that Powerball’s drums do not, and people start keeping lists. There is nothing in them. A
Star Ball that came out on Monday has the same chance on Wednesday as the other 9,
because the machine is refilled and has no memory. Our
number analysis page publishes the counts beside what happened when we tested
scoring them against hundreds of real past draws, and the answer was that it performed like chance.
An independent results archive. We publish Lotto America results for reference only. We are not the
Multi-State Lottery Association or any of its member lotteries, we sell no tickets, and nothing here
confirms or pays a prize. Whether you may buy or claim from where you live depends on where you are, and
only the official operator can answer that. Play only with money you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions
Lotto America is drawn on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:15 PM US Eastern, so each result lands early the next morning in the Gulf and South Asia. Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday are the three mornings that carry something new, and they are the same three mornings as Powerball.
Yes, always. The Star Ball is drawn from its own pool of 1 to 10, separately from the five main numbers. A main number of yours that happens to equal the Star Ball has matched nothing, and a Star Ball that appears among the five drawn main numbers is still only a Star Ball.
No. The Star Ball drum holds only 1 to 10, so a sixth number above ten cannot be a Star Ball. A sixth number of 22 points at Powerball, whose red ball runs to 26, or at Mega Millions, whose gold ball runs to 24. The draw night then separates those two.
They are separate games with separate machines and separate prize funds, run by the same association of state lotteries and drawn on the same three nights. A Powerball result says nothing about a Lotto America draw, and a ticket for one is worthless against the other.
One line has a 1 in 25,989,600 chance of matching all five main numbers and the Star Ball: the ways to choose five numbers from 52, multiplied by the 10 possible Star Balls. That is roughly 11 times shorter than the Powerball jackpot odds.
The state lottery that sold it. Lotto America is sold by a group of member lotteries and each one handles its own tickets, prizes and claims, so the state printed on the slip is the one to contact. We hold an independent copy of the drawn numbers and nothing else.
