Recent record-breaking Powerball jackpots have created a lot of excitement over the past few weeks. But frequent lottery related searches aren’t new for Bing. In fact, there are 13 times more lottery-related searches on Bing than there are for pension-related searches, and searches for ‘lottery’ surpass those for ‘401k’ at a ratio of 10-to-1. Yet, according to a recent study, more than $2 billion in lottery prizes go unclaimed each year in the US, mostly because people don’t realize there are secondary prizes.

We believe part of the problem is the lack of convenience in having to navigate multiple sites to find what you need.

The new Bing lottery experience puts all relevant information front and center, making it easier for you to find what you need. We also discovered a lot of fun facts while researching this topic – read to the end of the blog to see our infographic of lottery trivia.
