 – 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!
 – Want us to send you an e-mail when the jackpot gets to a certain level?  Sign up for our Jackpot Alert service, and you'll never miss out on a big jackpot again!  Plus, we never give out your name or e-mail address to any other person or company, and we don't send you "junk mail" that you didn't ask for.
 – Don't forget to check back with us tonight at 11:00 PM Eastern Time for the only live Big Game drawing results on the Internet.
