Draw Odds Now Updated For 2018

The Most Accurate Draw Odds — Just Got Better in 2018

Each year we release a bunch of enhancements to our Draw Odds platform, and this year is no different. The result of these updates further showcases us as having the most accurate draw odds in the industry.

2018 Draw Odds Updates

Instead of just updating all the data for 2018, we wanted to bring you more information than ever before. This year we included several major enhancements:

1. Faster Load Times

The more data points you add to a system, typically the slower the system performs. Not anymore! We made it a goal to squash slow load times, and we are happy to say that for 2018, Draw Odds load times are much quicker.

2. More Data - Updated Draw Odds across Every State

We have draw odds for nine western states.

Every state and unit has been updated to show the latest draw odds. You'll now be able to see exactly how the 2017 draw played out to help you decide how to apply in 2018.

Along with the updated odds, you’ll now be able to track trends even further with another level of our year-over-year data on our draw odds detail page.
