Texans can now purchase their lottery tickets online

Lotteries are hugely popular in the Lone Star State, and interest skyrockets whenever Powerball and Mega Millions offer jackpot prizes worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Lottery play has risen steadily ever since Powerball and Lotto Texas each added a third weekly draw in August. Until now, the only way you could play these games was to visit a retail store and purchase your tickets in person. This is no longer necessary as official Texas Lottery tickets can be purchased online, safely and securely, at theLotter Texas.

TheLotter Texas is an online lottery ticket messenger service providing customers with the opportunity to play their favorite lottery draws, with official lottery tickets, from anywhere in the state. It is an independent service, not affiliated with the Texas Lottery, but all tickets are purchased at licensed Texas Lottery retailers and all prizes are paid by the Texas Lottery.

“We buy official Texas Lottery tickets on our customers' behalf and scan them into their online account as proof of purchase, so it is very clear what we do.”

“As a company, we have been around for many years, and we focus on building trust rather than seek to make a flashy entrance in local markets,” says Peggy Daniel, theLotter's U.S. managing director.

TheLotter Texas launched just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and online lottery ticket sales have increased dramatically in the past year.

“We always abide by the strictest standards of all local guidelines,” Daniel says. “Since we've added debit cards, online sales for Powerball, Mega Millions, and the Texas lotteries have risen rapidly, which we're delighted to see. We are proud that all funds raised by our online ticket sales benefit state programs — including the Foundation School Fund, which supports public education in Texas, and the Fund for Veterans’ Assistance — as they do in-store.”

We charge customers a small transaction fee for our service and no commissions are taken from winning tickets.
