This article provides a practical software application that can conveniently examine and evaluate several lottery tickets for prizes using just the images. The application accepts as input a directory containing the images of lottery tickets and utilizes machine learning and computer vision to extract lottery ticket data, lottery name, lottery draw date, 5-digit lottery numbers, 2-digit lottery \"ball\" numbers, and the lottery multiplier. The application also retrieves winning lottery data that corresponds to the lottery draw date using a public database API. This is compared with data collected from each lottery ticket image to establish matches, and the corresponding prize amount is computed. The current version of the application supports GPU usage, and image orientation has no impact on its functionality. It is believed that a considerable portion of the U.S. public participating in the Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries will find such an application  \nbeneficial and handy.  \nKeywords: Machine Learning, Lottery, Computer Vision, Powerball, Mega Millions  \nIntroduction  \nPlaying lottery games is a popular activity in the United States (Bernadette McKinney & Swain, 1993; Tom Huddleston Jr, 2022) . Though different types of lottery games exist, Mega Millions (MM) and Powerball (PB) are among the most played lottery games in the United States. Recently, the jackpot prize of the Mega Millions lottery rose to $1.28 billion. This was considered as one of the biggest jackpot prizes, and it was won by a single lottery ticket purchased in Illinois, USA (Tom Huddleston Jr, 2022) . MM and PB lottery games consist of 'drawings' on specific days during the week when the lottery machine picks random number balls. While Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday are for PB, Tuesday and Thursday are for MM. These drawings are telecasted live, and the winning numbers obtained from the lottery machine are made available on the official websites of Mega Millions and Powerball. Before the drawings, people can buy lottery tickets containing either selected numbers or quick-pick numbers (randomly generated by the officially licensed machine) . Powerball and Mega Millions are coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) (Multi-State Lottery Association, 2022) . Therefore, the most strict security standards are followed to prevent malicious interference. A single PB or MM lottery ticket can be as low as $2.00. These lottery games are popular among the people of the United States due to the low cost of participation and trustworthiness.  \nThe frequency of playing PB and MM and the number of tickets purchased per drawing vary substantially among lottery ticket purchasers. Nonetheless, all ticket purchasers play with the hope of winning the jackpot or other potential monetary prizes. To verify the prize won, the ticket holder must compare the numbers on their lottery ticket with the winning numbers drawn during a live telecast or go to a local store that sells the lottery to get the ticket checked for the prize won.
