INDIANAPOLIS — As the 2025-26 regular season concludes, the Indiana Pacers are inviting fans to get in on the high-stakes excitement of the NBA Draft Lottery with interactive tools and a chance to attend the most exclusive party of the postseason.
Scheduled for Sunday, May 10, the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery will determine the fate of the first 14 picks in this year’s draft. While the top four picks are decided by the luck of the draw, positions five through 14 follow the reverse order of regular-season records.
The 2026 Pacers Draft Lottery Simulator is now live. This interactive digital tool uses the NBA’s official weighted odds, allowing fans to:
- Run unlimited simulations to see where the Pacers might land.
- Experience the tension of the drawing firsthand.
- Share their projected results on social media to spark the draft debate.
While the lottery broadcast is a global event, the Pacers are hosting an invite-only Draft Lottery Party on May 10—and you could be on the guest list.
The team is giving away pairs of tickets to this exclusive event, offering fans a front-row seat to the franchise’s future. There are two ways to enter:
- Online: Visit Pacers.com/Sweeps.
- Mobile: Text DRAFT to 727-722.
Fans must enter by May 4 for a chance to win.
