Every draw measured against its own game's history — and every jackpot priced at what a winner would actually keep.
Advertised jackpots are quoted as the full 30-year annuity, before a dollar of tax is withheld. The lump-sum cash option is typically 50–60% of that headline, and federal tax takes a further bite at rates up to 37%. The final column is what the cash option is actually worth once the tax is paid.

*Lump-sum cash value after federal tax for a single filer, plus state and local tax where the game's home state levies them. National games are priced in a no-income-tax state (FL). Run your own state and filing status for an exact figure, or compare all 50 in the state tax rate table.
Each drawing below is compared against that game's own results going back up to 250 draws: how long each number had been waiting, which numbers carried over from the previous drawing, and how the line's total and spread compare with the running average. None of it changes the odds — every draw is independent — but it is the context a bare list of numbers leaves out.

Everything here comes from Actual Winnings' own drawing database, refreshed several times a day after each lottery's official drawing. The analysis in each write-up — drought lengths, carryovers, sums and spreads — is computed from that game's historical results at build time, and the take-home figures use the same tax engine that powers the calculator. We never republish other outlets' articles.
