About DrawLedger US

How the US edition publishes Powerball, Mega Millions and Millionaire for Life results, statistics and corrections.

Who runs the site

DrawLedger is operated personally by Damian Bazzano, who is responsible for the editorial policy, source selection, corrections and published methodology. Questions and correction reports can be sent through the contact page.

The site does not present Damian or DrawLedger as an official lottery representative, ticket validator or professional gambling adviser.

Editorial purpose

DrawLedger publishes factual draw records, source notes and reproducible descriptive statistics. It does not sell tickets, validate prizes, recommend numbers or claim that past results can predict a future draw.

Review every statistical definition.

US games and update frequency

This edition covers Powerball and Mega Millions. Automated source checks run three times each day, including after normal publication windows, so delayed official results can be collected by a later same-day pass.

After a successful import, result history, frequency tables, absence measures and pattern summaries recalculate from each game’s stored records.

How US-edition results are checked

Powerball and Mega Millions imports use New York State Open Data. The raw response, retrieval time, source URL and SHA-256 fingerprint are retained before a result is transformed.

If a later value conflicts with a published record, the site records the conflict for review instead of silently overwriting the result. Read the full source and correction policy.

Statistical model

The displayed models are deterministic descriptive calculations implemented in the site code and covered by automated tests. Current-rule data are kept separate between games; main and bonus pools are counted independently. Formula definitions, window rules and limitations are published so readers can reproduce or challenge the output.

The models describe completed draws only and are not predictive systems.

Corrections and accountability

Correction reports should include the page address, draw date, disputed value and a link to an official source where possible. Material corrections are recorded with a reason and editor identity in the audit database.

Certified records and the rules of the lottery jurisdiction that sold a ticket always prevail over this independent reference.

Funding and advertising

The site may be funded by advertising. Advertising does not determine which results, statistics or source conclusions are published. Ads and third-party destinations are visually and operationally separate from the draw record.

Analytics and advertising controls are described in the privacy and cookies policy.

US edition scope

The navigation, results, statistics and number-checking tools on this edition are limited to the lotteries selected for US readers.

US edition

Coverage chosen for US readers

DrawLedger.net focuses on Powerball, Mega Millions and Millionaire for Life for a United States audience. Dates, navigation and explanatory notes use US conventions, while ticket validation, tax, anonymity and claim rules remain the responsibility of the selling jurisdiction.

The US edition retains official-source responses, fingerprints and correction evidence separately for every game. Statistics use each game's own rules and keep the Powerball, Mega Ball or Millionaire Ball pool separate from the main numbers.

DrawLedger is independent from MUSL, Mega Millions, state lotteries and the New York State Gaming Commission. It does not sell tickets or determine prize eligibility.
