Bing announced you can now check to see if your lottery ticket matches the winning lottery numbers just by searching Bing.com. Weeks ago, both Bing and Google failed at showing lottery numbers in their search results.

Now you can search for [powerball] or [california lottery] or similar keywords on Bing to pull up the quick answer box to show the winning lottery numbers for that specific lottery.

Here is a screen shot:

Just to be clear, Google Mexico does support Mexican lottery number winnings, but they do not support US-based lotteries yet.

Bing will also show you information about the lottery network and related lotteries so you can diversify your lottery odds.
