Game ChangeDated record
On April 8, 2025, Mega Millions changed its matrix from 5-of-70 plus a Mega Ball of 25 to 5-of-70 plus a Mega Ball of 24. Draws before and after that date are read against different formats, which matters when you check older tickets or browse archives.
Bottom Line: Since the drawing of April 8, 2025, Mega Millions has drawn its Mega Ball from a pool of 24 instead of 25. The five main numbers still come from a pool of 70, and results before that date must be read against the older format.
Live jackpot tracking is not connected in this build. Jackpot figures appear here only from a real feed — the game pages carry each game's own latest published information.
Dated records and their categories. Nothing here is manufactured to look current.
Game ChangeDated record
Powerball has drawn five main numbers from a pool of 69 and a Powerball from a pool of 26 since the drawing of October 7, 2015. Earlier drawings used different number ranges, so archived results are read against the format in force on their draw date.
No verified winner or unclaimed-prize story is published. A winner story is a factual claim about a real person, so nothing appears here until it comes from a published, verified source.
