Drawing record
3,841 Powerball drawings and 1,722 Mega Millions drawings.
Measures
Powerball figures are settled — the final amount after ticket sales closed. Mega Millions figures are advertised — the estimate published before the draw. The two are not the same quantity.

Powerball through 2026-08-12, Mega Millions through 2026-07-31
Puerto Rico is not priced by the tax engine, so the after-tax
column is not shown for it. The settled figure and cash value are unchanged.
These figures are not priced for any state yet — choose one and the after-tax column appears.
Estimates for entertainment purposes, not tax advice. Your actual outcome depends on your full tax situation. After-tax figures use today’s federal and state rates on every row, including drawings from decades ago, so they are not what that year’s winner kept. Someday does not sell lottery tickets and is not affiliated with Powerball, Mega Millions, or any state lottery.
