The Rise of the Online Lottery

The online lottery market in the US is still fairly new. Only seven states currently offer it, and the law on this topic is still evolving. Despite the legality issues, the popularity of online lotteries has sparked a burgeoning online gambling industry. Moreover, a number of state-run lottery operators are expanding their product lines with mobile and desktop applications, as well as promotions and online lottery subscription services.

New Hampshire, for example, has launched an online lottery in July 2017. The lottery company that runs the online lottery, NeoPollard Interactive, provides access to more than 100 instant win games on its website, including Mega Millions and Powerball. It also offers custom number selection. The lottery’s website can be accessed from a mobile device using an app like Jackpocket.

The online lottery process is a little different from that of a traditional lottery, but the benefits are similar. Players can purchase tickets and deposit money through various payment methods. Most online lotteries accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Some even offer Bitcoin transactions. TheLotter, for example, offers more than 30 different deposit options, making it easy for players to make a secure deposit. Winners of online lotteries are typically notified by SMS or email. In some cases, winners can claim their prize in person.

The online lottery is currently supported in 42 states. These include the Mega Millions, Powerball, Tri-State Megabucks, and Pennsylvania Online Lottery. Many states also participate in multi-jurisdictional lotteries, including the New Jersey Lottery and the Illinois Lottery.
