Powerball: Past Winning Numbers, Results, Drawings, Data for Current Game Format
By Ion Saliu, Founder of Powerball Programming Science
• Downloading the results, real drawings (draws) for the multi-jurisdiction lotto game known as Powerball requires a special type of paid membership: Permanent (Lifetime) Membership. The drawings are well formatted in text files that are ready to use by LotWon lottery software and MDIEditor Lotto WE. Creating such Powerball data files requires a special kind of effort, is time-consuming, and thusly deserves a reward. Not to mention that a bunch of pirates used this type of results (drawings) files for their business by charging people for… my efforts!
Please read the membership page for all conditions and terms of service: Download Great Software: Paid Membership Required.
The Powerball results (drawings), plus software source code, are listed here: Source Code for Software, Programs Created by Ion Saliu.
The best suited lotto software for Powerball is MDIEditor Lotto WE. The super application comes with a sample data file with Powerball results (real draws): DataPB5. Open it via Menu, File, Open, or the Open button on the toolbar.
Or, you can start with an empty file: File, New. Copy only the lines with the results as printed at this Web site. Do not leave any empty lines in your results file. The oldest drawing is the last line in the drawings file. The most recent (latest) draw always goes to the top of your data file for the Powerball game. Save the file with a name of your choosing: File, Save As (e.g. PBall.dat).
When updating the Powerball results (history) files, copy and paste only the top line(s) not present in your file. You can also type the results, but be sure to follow the same format. The format is five regular Powerball numbers, in ascending order, separated by one or more blank spaces (comma is also acceptable). The sixth number in every line represents the Power Ball (the red ball, as they show on TV).
