That's why I prefer to use USAMega; better design, loads quickly, easily read on mobile and 90+% of the time has the won/roll results up faster than either of the two national lottery sites.

I like the old Powerball page much better. Such unnecessary improvement . It's yet another example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

They have the last drawing posted three times under last 3 drawings. When you click past drawings then click search. They have July 24ths drawing listed six times. The live drawing feed doesn't work anymore. It usually refreshed within five minutes of the drawing. I've clicked on it an hour after the drawing. Last weeks drawing starts. The site has gone down hill of late. Not sure whose running it. I go to the Texas lottery site to get the live powerball drawing.

I completely agree. It's annoying web design on both mobile and desktop. All the information that a lottery player would be interested in -- especially past winning numbers, and probabilities -- are hard to find. Compare it to an older design where everything was easy to find, even if it wasn't as pretty. And it worked on fine mobile, even if it wasn't mobile optimized: https://web.archive.org/web/20130331061808/http://www.powerball.com/pb_home.asp

90% of screen covers nothing, 10% portion current jackpot information, and 2% is for current drawing numbers.

Look at the fonts for drawing numbers! I can't even imagine what kind of people at Powerball approves this design.

Megamillions seems reasonable. Current drawings is at the center of the page. And fonts are big as well.
