Powerballer is a full-stack MERN application that features dynamic, data-driven lottery updates. It features real-time tracking of jackpot amounts and draws.

Users can enter up to three lottery tickets at a time to compare them with the winning numbers. The app also features a ticket management tool to view and/or delete past numbers.
