Editorial Policy

Last Updated: October 19, 2025

At Lottery Critic, our goal is to give readers accurate, transparent, and trustworthy information about lottery results, tools, and guides.

We follow clear editorial standards to ensure that every article, calculator, and review reflects verified data and responsible reporting.

Our mission

Lottery Critic was created to make the world of lotteries easier to understand and safer to navigate.

Our mission is to:

  • Deliver verified lottery results and numbers in real time.

  • Provide clear, unbiased guides that help players understand how lotteries work.

  • Promote responsible play and protect readers from misinformation or unlicensed operators.

Editorial independence

Lottery Critic operates independently. Our editorial team decides what to cover, how to write it, and when to update it — without influence from partners or advertisers. We only recommend services that are licensed, verified, or regulated, and our opinions are based on evidence, testing, and data.

Accuracy and verification

We take information accuracy seriously. All lottery results and data published on this site are verified directly from official sources, including:

  • Powerball.com

  • MegaMillions.com

  • Official U.S. state lottery websites

  • Recognized international lottery operators

Each article includes a ā€œLast Updatedā€ date and is reviewed regularly to maintain accuracy. If errors are found, we correct them promptly and note the change where appropriate.

Sources and citations

Our writers use primary lottery data, official press releases, and verified operator reports whenever possible. When external data or statistics are used, we clearly credit and link to the source.

Writers and reviewers

Our content is created by experienced lottery and gaming writers, then reviewed by senior editors for accuracy, clarity, and compliance.

  • Nicholas Christensen – Founder & Lead Lottery Analyst: Oversees editorial standards and data verification.

  • Milo Cruz – Managing Editor: Ensures factual accuracy and responsible gambling compliance across all guides and reviews.

Each article lists its author and includes a visible publication and update date to maintain transparency.

Affiliate disclosure

Lottery Critic is supported through affiliate partnerships with licensed lottery couriers and sweepstakes casinos. When you click a link and sign up, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions, rankings, or reviews. Our first priority is always accuracy and user trust.

Responsible play

We believe lottery and sweepstakes games should be fun, not harmful. Lottery Critic promotes responsible play by including age restrictions (18+ or state minimum) and linking to trusted support organizations such as the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).

Corrections and feedback

We welcome reader feedback and take error reports seriously. If you notice a factual error or outdated information, please contact us at [email protected]. Our team reviews every submission and updates or clarifies information as needed.
