Lottery Sites
I am often asked if I play the lottery and how someone can pick winning numbers. My answer is simple. I only buy a ticket when I feel lucky because I do not enjoy spending money on gambling, and if I truly knew how to pick the winning numbers, I would not need to enter sweepstakes.
Lotteries come in many forms. There are large jackpot draws, such as Powerball or 649, daily draws like Pick 3 or Pick 4, and instant win games, such as scratch tickets. Each region offers its own mix of draw schedules and game styles.
If you are looking for information about lotteries where you live, each state, province, or territory provides full details on its official lottery website. These sites include winning numbers, game rules, prize breakdowns, and answers to common questions.
NOTE: If a state, province, or territory does not appear on the list, it does not currently offer its own lottery.
