Online lotteries have become a popular way to play the lottery. Not only are they convenient, but they are also available at anytime, anywhere, and with no physical locations to worry about. Online lotteries are similar to retail websites. You create an account, choose a game and tickets, and then check out to pay. The state lottery site will keep track of the numbers and prizes won, and you can even purchase tickets for multiple drawings.
The Illinois Lottery was one of the first to sell tickets for lottery games online, although the lottery ceased this service a year later. Most participating states have very strict rules regarding the sale of tickets online, requiring that customers live within the state or be a resident of that state. For example, Colorado residents cannot play instant win games in Georgia or purchase a subscription with the Virginia lottery. However, Illinois lottery subscribers are welcome to purchase online tickets.
In addition to their state-level games, the Michigan Lottery also offers online lotteries. They offer Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, and Cash Ball 225. All three cost just $1 each. The odds are 47-to-1, but Lucky for Life has a much higher payout. The top prize in this game is $1,000 a day for life, but the lottery rolls over the unclaimed jackpot every week. In addition, Kentucky’s FUN CLUB has second-chance prizes, including tickets and cash.
