Option 1: Iframe Embed
The simplest way to add lottery results to your site is to embed the server-rendered results page in an iframe. Each state has a results page at /{state}/results (e.g., /california/results) that renders as lightweight HTML with the latest drawing numbers, hot/cold indicators, and next draw dates. Because these pages are server-rendered, they load quickly and do not require JavaScript on the embedding page.
Set the iframe to a reasonable size (e.g., 100% width, 600-800px height) and allow it to scroll if content overflows. The results page is styled with a dark background, so it blends well with dark-themed sites. For light-themed sites, you may want to use the API approach instead to match your own styling.
Option 2: API Integration
For full control over presentation, fetch data from the DrawAnalytics API and render it yourself. A GET request to /api/{state}/drawings?game={gameId}&limit=1 returns the most recent drawing as a JSON object. You can then display the numbers, date, and jackpot using your own components and styling.
This approach works well for single-page apps, WordPress plugins, or any environment where you need the data separate from the presentation. Refresh the data on a timer (every 5-15 minutes after known draw times) to keep results current without excessive API calls.
Attribution
If you embed or integrate DrawAnalytics data, a link back to drawanalytics.com is appreciated but not required. The API is free for non-commercial and commercial use. For high-volume or specialized needs, see the API documentation for rate limits and best practices.
