Start with the ticket in your hand
Before opening a result list, find three identifying details on the paper ticket: its series, its six-digit number, and the draw code and date. Keep these details together while checking. The same digits can be searched against different draws, so choosing the correct result is as important as entering the number.
The series is part of the full ticket
The series is the two-letter prefix printed before the number. In the illustrative ticket KA 123456, KA is the series and 123456 is the number. When a prize tier requires a full-ticket match, the letters must be checked as well as the digits. Do not assume that another series with the same number has the same result.
Keep every digit, including zero
A ticket number is an identifier, not an amount. If it begins with zero, the zero belongs in the search. For example, enter 012345 as six digits rather than shortening it to 12345. Compare the number from left to right after typing or scanning it. Faint printing and reflections can make similar-looking characters difficult to distinguish.
Match the draw code and date
A lottery name can appear across many draws. Read the particular draw code and date printed on your ticket and compare them to the selected completed draw. If the checker cannot find that code, leave the selection unresolved rather than choosing a different week just to continue.
Use partial searches as a first look
Our checker also accepts six digits without a series, or the final four digits, for a number search. This can help you inspect possible number matches, but it does not replace a full-ticket check. Enter the series and all six digits to confirm the ticket against the selected draw.
