}About the powerball.com API
The powerball.com API exposes 7 endpoints covering current and historical lottery drawing data, jackpot figures, prize odds, and winner stories. The get_latest_powerball_drawing endpoint returns the most recent draw's winning numbers, Power Play multiplier, estimated jackpot, cash value, and a full winners breakdown by prize tier — all in a single call with no input parameters required.
Drawing Results and Historical Data
The get_latest_powerball_drawing endpoint returns the current draw's winning_numbers object (containing white_balls as a string array and special_ball), plus multiplier, estimated_jackpot, cash_value, and a winners_breakdown array detailing match tiers, winner counts, prizes, and Power Play equivalents. For any past or alternate-game draw, get_draw_result_by_date accepts a date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format and a game_code — one of powerball, lotto-america, 2by2, double-play, or jackpot-usa — returning the same response shape. Omitting either parameter falls back to the most recent Powerball drawing.
Historical Range Queries and Multi-Game Jackpots
get_previous_results supports bulk historical pulls using start_date and end_date in MM/DD/YYYY format, and also accepts a game_code to query non-Powerball games. Each result in the returned array includes date, white_balls, special_ball, and multiplier. Note that this endpoint uses a different date format than get_draw_result_by_date, so check your parameters before calling. get_jackpot_info returns current jackpot snapshots across all supported games in one response: each entry in the jackpots array includes game, estimated_jackpot, cash_value, and date.
Prize Structure, Odds, and Winner Stories
get_prizes_and_odds returns two arrays: odds_chart with per-tier match descriptions and odds, and prize_chart with Power Play multiplier columns from power_play_2x through power_play_10x. This is useful for building prize calculators or displaying official odds. get_winners_gallery provides paginated winner entries via a page integer parameter; each entry includes the winner's state (name), amount, location, and image_url. get_all_games lists every supported game with its name and code, making it straightforward to enumerate valid game_code values for other endpoints.

Does powerball.com have an official developer API?+
What does `get_draw_result_by_date` return, and how do I query a non-Powerball game?+
winning_numbers (with white_balls and special_ball), multiplier, estimated_jackpot, cash_value, and a winners_breakdown array. Pass a game_code value — such as lotto-america, 2by2, double-play, or jackpot-usa — alongside a date in YYYY-MM-DD format to retrieve results for that specific game and drawing date.Does `get_previous_results` use the same date format as `get_draw_result_by_date`?+
get_previous_results expects dates in MM/DD/YYYY format for both start_date and end_date, while get_draw_result_by_date uses YYYY-MM-DD. Mixing these formats will produce incorrect results, so verify the format before calling each endpoint.Does the API expose individual ticket validation or lottery retailer locations?+
How many pages does `get_winners_gallery` cover, and is there a total count field?+
page number and a winners array, but does not include a total page count or total winner count in the response. To determine the full extent of available pages, you would need to increment the page parameter until the returned winners array is empty or shorter than a full page. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a total-count field if the source exposes that data.
