Responsible data use for lottery results.
Lottery Feed API is a data/API service. Public pages and customer integrations should show historical results, statistics, checker classes, and prize summaries without implying predictions, betting advice, official eligibility, or improved winning odds.

Boundary
Keep data products separate from gambling claims
These rules keep public pages, API docs, widgets, and customer integrations aligned around historical data, source confidence, and official-rule boundaries.
Historical, not predictive
Statistics and pattern summaries explain what was stored in prior draws. They should not be positioned as forecasts, picks, or systems.
Rules stay jurisdiction-specific
Official lottery rules control eligibility, payout, play type, tax handling, retailer rules, and required disclosures.
Product remains an API service
The product provides normalized data, source confidence, history, schedules, and webhook delivery. It is not a gambling operator.
Surfaces
Responsible-use copy by product area
Use the surface-specific rule close to statistics, checker, API examples, and prize summaries instead of hiding it in legal footer copy.
Frequency, gap, sum, and odd/even views describe stored historical draws only. They are developer data tools, not predictions, betting advice, or a promise of future outcomes.
Label statistics as descriptive history and keep non-prediction copy close to charts, tables, and API examples.
Result checks classify stored winning numbers only. They do not determine prizes, payouts, eligibility, or jurisdiction-specific play outcomes.
Show match class as a deterministic data comparison, not as payout, ticket validation, or local eligibility advice.
API examples and sample responses are integration references. Customers are responsible for local age, lottery, gambling, and disclosure rules in their own products.
Keep bearer keys server-side and review local compliance copy before exposing lottery data to end users.
Prize tables are source-reviewed informational summaries only. Official lottery rules control final payout, player eligibility, play-type availability, liability limits, and local disclosures.
Display source review dates and official-rules disclaimers before promoting prize information.
Checklist
Before publishing stats-heavy customer pages
Use this as product copy review, not as legal approval. Local counsel and official lottery rules still control final requirements.
Treat historical statistics as descriptive data only; do not frame them as picks, tips, predictions, or a way to improve odds.
Use official jurisdiction rules for prizes, eligibility, age limits, retailer rules, tax handling, and required local disclosures.
Add jurisdiction-specific responsible-gambling and help resources before publishing consumer-facing statistics, checker, or prize pages.

FAQ
Responsible data questions
Short answers for API customers, product managers, and support teams reviewing public lottery data copy.
Can historical lottery statistics be promoted as predictions?
No. Statistics pages and frequency APIs describe historical stored draws only. They should not be promoted as picks, tips, prediction systems, or a way to improve odds.
Does the result checker calculate winnings?
No. The checker compares submitted numbers with stored draw results and returns match classes. Prize, payout, eligibility, and local rules must come from official jurisdiction rules.
Where should help resources appear?
Customer-facing statistics, checker, prize, and lottery pages should include jurisdiction-specific responsible-gambling and help-resource links where local rules or product policy require them.
