Online lotteries are relatively new in the United States. Currently, there are seven states that offer online lotteries. More states are expected to authorize online lottery sales in the near future. Until then, you can buy tickets for state and multi-state drawings in person, or on the official lottery website. In addition, some states offer instant-win scratch cards.
The best online lotteries allow you to choose your numbers easily and securely. You can then compare current jackpot amounts, odds, and other lottery information. Many online lottery sites allow you to choose up to five numbers or play straight.
