We've recently improved our Search page: now you can search for up to five sets of numbers at one time, and you can choose the lowest prize level you want to find results for. For example, you could search for any prizes $5.00 and greater that your set of numbers would match in the history of The Big Game. Thanks to Walter Gainer for the suggestions.
In the near future we'll be adding a PowerSearch feature that will offer a great deal of flexibility for those who want to explore previous Big Game drawings. Stay tuned!
