Lottery Numbers in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Pull winning draws into a spreadsheet. Returns the latest numbers, auto-refreshing daily — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Turn IDs into detail

Fill =VERVE("lottery", "powerball", "field", "lotteryType") down a column of identifiers and expand each into full, structured detail — no manual lookups.

Enrich a table in place

Add Lottery Numbers beside your existing rows to append the fields you were missing, right where the data lives.

Keep it current

Let auto-refresh re-resolve the column on a schedule so the enriched data never goes stale.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("lottery", "powerball", "field", "lotteryType")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("lottery", "powerball", "field", "lotteryType")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

datePremium
Optional date for historical lookup (YYYY-MM-DD). Returns the nearest draw to this date.
=VERVE("lottery", "powerball", "date", "2024-01-15")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Lottery Numbers, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Lottery Numbers into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("lottery", "powerball", "field", "drawDate") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Lottery Numbers?

Lottery Numbers returns drawDate, jackpot and numbers — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Lottery Numbers returns?

Yes — Lottery Numbers takes "date" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("lottery", "powerball", "date", "2024-01-15") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Which Lottery Numbers fields need a paid plan?

nextDraw, nextDraw.drawDate, nextDraw.jackpot and nextDraw.jackpotValue, plus 2 more are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Can I fill a whole column of Lottery Numbers at once?

Yes. Put your numbers values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Lottery Numbers cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Lottery Numbers work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
