Massachusetts enters digital era, at least for lottery tickets
Massachusetts moved from analog to digital since launching scratch tickets in 1974, making it 50 years. This is the first time the state will sell digital scratch tickets. Now players can:
- Order official lottery tickets online.
- Play Powerball, Mega Millions, and more.
Lotto.com lets you order and play official state lottery scratch tickets at home, on the go, or on any device you prefer, either on your laptop, phone, computer, or tablet.
Launch to enhance community funding
In a Lotto.com press statement, Chief Executive Officer Thomas Metzger said he hopes his company will serve as a valuable entity to the state. The state has one of the best-performing lotteries in the US and will contribute significantly toward state-run programs.
“We are thrilled to launch in Massachusetts, the best performing lottery per capita in the country. We also look forward to bringing incremental funding to the communities across the Commonwealth that the Lottery s.”
Lottery dollars make a real difference in Massachusetts. Each year, the state lottery distributes millions to cities and towns without restrictions. Local leaders can fund essential services, improve infrastructure, or community programs.
The 2023 payout was $1.2 billion.
