Lotto.com, the nation's first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, has announced its expansion into Puerto Rico, marking the company's first market launch outside the contiguous United States. The move, effective immediately, allows residents across the island to participate in popular draw games such as Powerball®, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash (with Multiplicador and Revancha X2), and daily favorites including Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4 from their preferred mobile device or computer.
“The expansion into Puerto Rico represents an exciting chapter for Lotto.com,” said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. “We are proud to bring our platform to the island and provide residents with a convenient digital way to participate in lottery draw games, bringing incremental customers and profits to Lotería Electrónica.” The company currently offers only draw games in Puerto Rico, but plans to expand its offerings over time.
Puerto Rico's lottery market is substantial, with nearly $500 million in sales in Fiscal Year 2025, reflecting a strong and engaged player base. Lotto.com has already seen significant early success on the island, with over 1,000 winners since launch and nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order. This demonstrates continued momentum and increasing adoption of its platform across the markets in which it operates.
The Lotería Electrónica of Puerto Rico plays a vital role in supporting the island, with proceeds benefiting essential social programs such as education, healthcare initiatives, and infrastructure improvements. Since its inception, the Lotería Electrónica has contributed over $4 billion directly to beneficiaries and public programs, including the municipal infrastructure (CRIM), the Catastrophic Emergency Fund, the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee, the Olympic Training and Recreational Center (Albergue Olímpico), Youth Sports Development Programs, and the Rental Assistance and Home Improvement Subsidy Program for Low-Income Elderly Persons.
For players in Puerto Rico, all prizes under $1,200 are deposited directly to the player's online account. For winnings exceeding $1,200, Lotto.com provides step-by-step support to help customers claim their prizes through the Lotería Electrónica. This streamlined process aims to enhance the user experience and encourage responsible play.
Lotto.com currently operates in 11 states including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Oregon, with plans to expand into more states soon. The company is headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is the first digital platform for ordering official state lottery draw and scratch games on both mobile and web-based platforms. As a lottery courier, Lotto.com helps lotteries across the country contribute incremental funds to state-run programs across education, parks, emergency responders, veterans' health, and other important services.
Lotto.com is the only BBB Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), underscoring its commitment to security, compliance, and responsible gaming. The company has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires via state-run games, including the largest Lotto.com Scratch Tickets ticket win in history – $3 million to a customer in Colorado.
