Looking for the latest Lotto America results? You found them. This page has the newest winning numbers, the Star Ball, all the prizes, and the draw times in Nigeria. You'll also see how to check your ticket, how the game works, and what your chances really are.
Lotto America is a US lottery game. One ticket is $1.95 and the jackpot starts at $2 million. People like it because the prize is big and the price is small, so it doesn't cost much to try.
Below are the numbers from the newest draw. We update them after every single draw, so check back often.
To win the jackpot you must match all five main numbers plus the Star Ball. Main numbers go from 1 to 52. The Star Ball goes from 1 to 10.
The Star Ball is the sixth number in every draw. It comes from a separate group of balls numbered 1 to 10. You pick it on your ticket like the other five. And here's the nice part. It can still win you money when none of your other numbers match.
For $1 more on each play, you can add the All Star Bonus. It multiplies any prize you win except the jackpot. The draw picks the multiplier by chance, and you could get 2X, 3X, 4X or 5X. So if you win $100 with a 3X multiplier, you walk away with $300.
The All Star Bonus won't grow the jackpot though. It only boosts the smaller prizes. That part always stays the same.
There are nine ways to win in Lotto America. The list below shows each one with its base prize and the odds of getting it.
| Match | Base Prize | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 5 + Star Ball | Jackpot | 1 in 25,989,600 |
| 5 | $20,000 | 1 in 2,887,733 |
| 4 + Star Ball | $1,000 | 1 in 110,594 |
| 4 | $100 | 1 in 12,288 |
| 3 + Star Ball | $20 | 1 in 2,404 |
| 3 | $5 | 1 in 267 |
| 2 + Star Ball | $5 | 1 in 160 |
| 1 + Star Ball | $2 | 1 in 29 |
| Star Ball only | $2 | 1 in 17 |
With the All Star Bonus the $20,000 prize can go as high as $100,000, and the $1,000 prize can go up to $5,000.
Lotto America has three draws a week in the US. They happen on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights at about 10:15 PM Eastern Time.
Nigeria is a few hours ahead of the US East Coast. So for you, the draw falls in the early hours of the next day. The table shows how it works. Plan for that if you want to check early.
| US Draw Day | Nigeria Day | Nigeria Time (WAT) |
|---|---|---|
| Monday night | Tuesday morning | About 3:15 AM (summer) or 4:15 AM (winter) |
| Wednesday night | Thursday morning | About 3:15 AM (summer) or 4:15 AM (winter) |
| Saturday night | Sunday morning | About 3:15 AM (summer) or 4:15 AM (winter) |
The US moves its clocks for daylight saving, and that shifts the time by an hour. This is why you see two times in the table. Nothing else about the draw changes.
Results are normally out soon after the draw ends. If you're in Nigeria, just check when you wake up on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday. We add the numbers to this page the moment they're confirmed. You don't need to stay up late for them.
Checking your ticket is easy. Just do this:
If you bought your ticket on WeLoveLotto, you can also sign in to your account. Your results will be there, and you'll be told if you win.
Lotto America is sold in the US, so you can't buy a ticket at a shop in Nigeria. But you can still play online. It's simple. Here's how.
When the draw is done, you'll see your result in your account.
Buy before the sales cut-off time on draw day. If you miss it, your ticket will go into the next draw instead. It's best to buy early.
One play is $1.95. With the All Star Bonus, that play is $2.95.
| Option | Price in Dollars | Price in Naira |
|---|---|---|
| One play | $1.95 | About ₦ 2593 |
| One play + All Star Bonus | $2.95 | About ₦ 3923 |
Naira prices go up and down with the exchange rate. So check the live price on the website before you pay. A few sites also add a small service fee.
Your chance of winning the jackpot is 1 in 25,989,600. Yes, that's hard. But it's much better than Powerball, which is about 1 in 292 million, or Mega Millions, which is about 1 in 302 million.
Your chance of winning any prize is about 1 in 9.63. That means about one in every ten plays wins something, even if it's just $2.
Lucky numbers don't help, and neither does using the same numbers each week. Every set of numbers has the same chance in every draw. Luck is the only thing that matters here.
The Lotto America jackpot always starts at $2 million. If no one wins a draw, it rolls over to the next one and grows by at least $50,000. When the jackpot gets big, more people buy tickets. That makes it grow even faster.
As soon as someone wins, the jackpot goes back to $2 million and starts over. Then the climb begins again.
The jackpot you see advertised is the annuity amount. It's paid over 30 years in 30 payments. If a winner wants all the money now, they can take the lump sum. That's called the cash option. It's smaller than the advertised number, usually about half.
The biggest Lotto America jackpot so far was $40.03 million. A ticket in Iowa won it on April 1, 2023, after the jackpot kept rolling for nearly two years. The cash option for that win was $21.28 million.
The record before that was $22.82 million. A family in Minnesota won it in March 2018. Then in July 2019, another Minnesota ticket won about $21.6 million.
Wins like these show a Lotto America jackpot doesn't need to reach billions to change a life. That's a lot of money for just $1.95.
Lotto America is played in 15 places in the US. Here they are:
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia.
The Multi-State Lottery Association runs the game, and the draws are held in the US. People in Nigeria can join through online ticket services like WeLoveLotto.
Here's how the three games compare:
| Lotto America | Powerball | Mega Millions | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticket price | $1.95 | $2.95 | $7 |
| Starting jackpot | $2 million | $20 million | $20 million |
| Jackpot odds | 1 in 25,989,600 | 1 in 292.2 million | 1 in 302.6 million |
| Draw days | Mon, Wed, Sat | Mon, Wed, Sat | Tue, Fri |
| Biggest jackpots | Tens of millions | Over a billion | Over a billion |
Lotto America is the cheapest of the three, and it gives you the best odds. The downside is the jackpots. They're a lot smaller. If you care most about better odds, Lotto America is a good pick. If you just want giant jackpots, Powerball or Mega Millions may fit you better.
Prices and rules can change, so always look at the official game sites for the newest details. Don't rely on old numbers.
If you win a small prize on WeLoveLotto, the money is automatically credited to your account wallet then you can make withdrawal request to your bank account.
Big prizes take a few more steps. This is what you might need to do:
Big US prizes may have US tax taken out, and Nigeria could have its own tax rules too. Before you decide what to do with a big win, it's smart to speak to a tax expert.
Don't wait too long to claim. Lotto America prizes expire, and the time you get depends on the state that sold the ticket. So check your ticket after every draw. Don't leave a winning ticket sitting around.
Want to see older draws? You'll find past results below. Each one shows the date, the white balls, the Star Ball, the All Star Bonus multiplier and the jackpot amount.
Past results are fun to look at, and they help when you check old tickets. But they can't tell you what comes next, because every draw is random. Use them for fun only.
The next draw is coming soon. Tickets are still just $1.95 each.
Pick your numbers, add the All Star Bonus if you want bigger small prizes, and buy your ticket before the cut-off time.
Lotto America is meant to be fun. See it as paying for entertainment, not a way to make money. Nobody can be sure to win.
Here are some easy tips:
You must be 18 or older to play. If gambling is turning into a problem for you or someone you know, talk to a person you trust or contact a support group near you.
The draw is at about 10:15 PM Eastern Time on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. In Nigeria, that's around 3:15 AM on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday in US summer time. In US winter time, it's about 4:15 AM. Results are usually up soon after the draw.
The Star Ball is a sixth number from its own set of balls, numbered 1 to 10. To win the jackpot you need it plus all five main numbers. It can win smaller prizes on its own too. If only your Star Ball matches, you get $2.
It costs $1 more on each play. Then any prize you win, other than the jackpot, is multiplied by 2, 3, 4 or 5. The draw picks the multiplier by chance. So a $100 prize with a 5X multiplier becomes $500.
Yes. You can't buy a ticket in a shop in Nigeria, but you can play online with a ticket service like WeLoveLotto. Just be sure you're 18 or older and that online play is allowed where you live.
One play is $1.95 or $2.95 with the All Star Bonus. In Naira, the price depends on the exchange rate that day. Check the price on the website before you pay.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 25,989,600. The odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 9.63.
The winner picks. The advertised jackpot is the annuity amount, paid over 30 years. Or a winner can take the lump sum, which comes all at once but is smaller. The record $40.03 million jackpot, for example, had a cash option of $21.28 million.
