It depends on your state
Online lottery sales are decided state by state. Some state lotteries sell draw-game tickets through their own websites or apps. Others only sell in stores.
Official state options
Where it's allowed, you'll usually create an account, verify your age and location, and buy tickets directly from the state lottery. Location checks make sure you're inside the state when you buy.
Courier services
In some states, licensed courier apps buy paper tickets on your behalf at retail stores. Rules and availability vary, so check your state lottery's guidance first.
Red flags
- Sites that aren't linked from your state lottery's official website.
- Offers to play foreign lotteries from the US.
- Requests to pay fees to "release" a prize.
