What each tool answers
Which numbers should I play?
The generator gives you a clean, random set in seconds — handy when you want a quick pick without touching a terminal.
What is the jackpot really worth?
The tax calculator strips out federal and state tax and shows the lump sum next to the annuity, so the headline number stops being misleading.
How likely am I to win anything?
The odds calculator shows the jackpot chance plus every smaller prize tier, and how much buying extra tickets actually moves the needle.
Lottery Tools — Frequently Asked Questions
Are these lottery tools free to use?
Yes. The number generator, tax calculator and odds calculator are free and run entirely in your browser — nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
How are the odds calculated?
Odds use the standard combination formula: the number of ways to choose your picks from the pool, multiplied by the bonus-ball combinations. That gives the exact number of possible tickets, and each prize tier is the share of tickets that match it.
How accurate are the tax estimates?
They are estimates. The calculator applies 2026 federal brackets, approximate state rates and a cash value of roughly 60% of the advertised jackpot for lump sums. Local taxes, deductions and your own tax bracket are not included, so confirm the real figures with a tax professional.
Can I use the tools for games that are not listed?
Yes. The odds calculator has a custom mode where you set how many numbers you pick, the pool size and the bonus balls, and it works out the odds for that format.
