Ticket prices reflect the official lottery price plus a transparent service fee that covers secure purchase, processing, storage, and assistance. The exact cost is displayed at checkout.

  1. Log in or create an account.
  2. Select Powerball or Mega Millions and choose your numbers or use Quick Pick.

Lottery Pools

A lottery pool lets multiple players combine their entries into a shared group so that everyone shares any winnings. It’s a way to play more tickets together while sharing costs.

Joining a pool gives you more total entries for less individual cost. Members share the excitement and agree on how winnings will be allocated.

Pool members can enter tickets into the pool, view all tickets added to it, track draw results, and see their share of any winnings in their account.

Lotto Nuts gives you everything you need to organize, manage, and track your pool with ease. After logging in, go to the Lottery Pools page and click “Create Your Pool.” Follow the on-screen steps to name your pool, set contribution rules, and select draws.

Every purchase generates an instant confirmation email and a record in My Account with ticket details, providing a clear audit trail of your order.
