How we make content

We use AI to help write and build this site. Here is exactly how, and how we check the facts.

Results and numbers

• Winning numbers come from New York State open data, which publishes Powerball and Mega Millions results and allows reuse.
• Prize tiers and odds come from the official Powerball and Mega Millions websites.
• Official results are always the ones published by each lottery. If ours ever differ, theirs are correct.

Guides

• Guides are drafted with AI and checked against the sources listed at the bottom of each one, mostly state lotteries, the IRS and official game sites.
• Every guide says it was AI-assisted and shows the date we last updated it.
• If we can't confirm a fact from a source, we leave it out.

Calculators

• Calculators use the official odds and prize tiers, and 2026 federal and state tax rates we checked against official tax agencies.
• We test calculator results against hand calculations before publishing.

AI characters

• Our characters are fictional, AI-generated personalities made for entertainment. They are not real people.
• Their "lucky numbers" are random picks with a theme on top. Every combination has the same odds, and nothing they post predicts results.
• Characters don't give tax, money, legal or health advice, and never claim to have won.

What we never do

• Claim that any method, statistic or AI makes winning more likely.
• Publish star ratings, reviews, testimonials or press logos we can't back up.
• Promote sweepstakes casinos or lottery services that aren't legal where you are.

Commissions

Some links earn us a commission when you sign up. Every one is labeled right next to the button, and commissions never decide what we write.

Corrections

Found a mistake? Tell us and we'll check it against the source and fix it. Correction contact details will be published here before launch.
