Colorado Lottery Winning Numbers: Live Daily Results, Draw Schedules & Player Guide

Welcome to your trusted Colorado Lottery live results dashboard. Whether you are aiming for multi-million dollar national fortunes in Powerball and Mega Millions, pursuing lifetime financial independence in Millionaire for Life, or playing state favorites like Colorado Lotto+, Cash 5, and Pick 3 (Midday & Evening), our platform delivers accurate, real-time verified winning combinations moments after every drawing.

Created by Colorado voters in 1982, the Colorado Lottery stands as a national model for conservation and public good. Unlike states that direct profits strictly to general treasuries, Colorado Lottery proceeds directly fund Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), the Conservation Trust Fund, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). Playing Colorado lottery games directly protects state parks, mountain trails, rivers, wildlife habitats, community recreation centers, and public open spaces throughout the Rocky Mountain state.

Game Rules & How to Play Colorado Lottery Games

1. Colorado Lotto+ (State Flagship with Plus Option)

Colorado Lotto+ is the state’s signature in-house jackpot game. For $2 per play, players select 6 numbers from 1 to 40. Every standard ticket automatically includes a built-in multiplier (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x) printed on the ticket that multiplies all non-jackpot prizes. For an additional $1, players can add the Plus option, entering their exact same numbers into a second consecutive drawing with a top prize of $250,000! Drawings take place three nights a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 7:35 PM MT.

2. Powerball & Mega Millions (Multi-State Titan Draws)

Colorado players participate in America's largest multi-jurisdiction jackpot lotteries. In Powerball ($2), choose 5 white balls (1-69) and 1 red Powerball (1-26). In Mega Millions ($2), pick 5 white balls (1-70) and 1 gold Mega Ball (1-24). Both games feature optional multipliers (Power Play / Megaplier) for $1 extra per line, multiplying non-jackpot wins up to 10x or doubling Match 5 payouts to $2,000,000 cash.

3. Millionaire for Life (Multi-State Daily Annuity Game)

Drawn every evening at 8:38 PM MT, Millionaire for Life costs $5 per play. Players pick 5 numbers from 1 to 58 and 1 Lucky Ball from 1 to 4.

4. Cash 5 & Pick 3 (Daily Colorado Favorites)

Cash 5: For $1 per play, select 5 numbers from 1 to 32. Drawn 7 nights a week at 7:35 PM MT, matching all 5 numbers wins a fixed top prize of $20,000 with exceptional winning odds of 1 in 201,376. Players can also add the optional EZ Match add-on for $1 to win up to $500 instantly at checkout.

Where Does the Money Go? Colorado's Environmental Mission

The Colorado Lottery is unique among all US lotteries because 100% of proceeds (after prizes and operational costs) are designated by constitutional amendment to support Colorado’s outdoors and conservation heritage:

• Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO): Receives up to 50% of lottery profits to award competitive grants for wildlife preservation, trail development, land acquisition, and state park expansions.
• Conservation Trust Fund (CTF): Receives 40% of lottery net proceeds, distributed directly to over 300 municipalities, counties, and special districts on a per-capita basis for local parks and public recreation facilities.
• Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW): Receives 10% of proceeds to manage 42 state parks, protect endangered species, and maintain thousands of miles of hiking, biking, and river corridors.
• BEST (Building Excellent Schools Today): Once the GOCO statutory cap is reached, remaining spillover proceeds directly fund public school capital construction and safety upgrades across Colorado.
