Update: Winning Number Tweets

After you buy a Powerball or Mega ticket, tweet @Lottoup your numbers and @Lottoup will automatically tweet you after the drawing takes place, letting you know what the numbers were for the drawing, how many you matched, and how much money you won.

Example : @Lottoup powerball 20,22,30,39,50,17

After the drawing @Lottoup will then twee you back something like: @xxxx no matches for the Powerball drawing on 8-17-2010. Your #'s:20,22,30,39,50,17. Winning #'s:11,19,40,43,44,33

The numbers should be in the same order as they appear on your ticket, and you must tweet them to @Lottoup before the actual drawing takes place, or @Lottoup will think it's for the next drawing.

@LottoUp Twitter App

The idea:

@LottoUp is a twitter service designed to help casual lottery players who are only looking to buy a lotto ticket when the jackpot is above a certain amount. In a nutshell, you tell @LottoUp which lotteries you're interested in potentially playing, and the lowest amount you'd like the jackpot to be for it to be worth your while to buy a ticket. When the lottery reaches that amount, @LottoUp will tweet you the details.

How it works:

It's simple. Follow @LottoUp and then tweet @LottoUp with the name of the lottery and an amount. @LottoUp will tweet you back whenever that lottery is above your preset amount.

example: '@LottoUp powerball 75' will tell @LottoUp to notify you whenever powerball is above or at 75 million.

If you want to change your amount, just send the same type of tweet but with a different amount. If you want to stop tracking a certain lottery, tweet '@LottoUp unsubscribe [lotto name]'.
