About

Lottery data, straight from the source.

Lottizen is an independent, free website that collects Canada’s lottery results, and those of the main US and European games, from the operators’ own published records and puts them in one place.

Who we are

Lottizen is written and run by The Lottizen Team, a small independent team. We are not a lottery operator, we don’t sell tickets, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by OLG, Loto-Québec, BCLC, WCLC, Atlantic Lottery or any other operator. Everything on the site is free to use.

Why we built it

Each operator publishes its own results, its own prize lists and its own rules, one game and one draw at a time. Questions that cross those lines are hard to answer from the official sites: how often a number has come up over decades of draws, how many times a jackpot has been won, which scratch games across five agencies still have the most prize money unclaimed, or whether a charity 50/50 is still on sale. We built Lottizen to answer them with the operators’ own figures, and to say plainly where those figures stop.

What’s here

Where the data comes from

Only from official sources: the operators’ results pages and feeds, their prize lists and their news releases. On draw nights Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, Daily Grand, Powerball and Mega Millions are read from several official sources at once, and a draw two of them disagree on is taken off the site until it is checked. In the archive, a draw whose official records disagree, with no third official source to settle it, is left out and marked on its year page, never guessed. Every data page shows the date of the data it uses. The full list of sources, how each is checked and how often it is read is on the methodology page.

What we will never claim

No number, pattern or system changes the odds of a draw, and no Lottizen page says otherwise. Scratch rankings describe how much prize money is still unclaimed, not any ticket’s chance of winning. When a figure can’t be known from the published data, we say so instead of estimating it.
