The Massachusetts State Lottery generates unrestricted local aid for cities and towns each year in the state. The lottery funds are not earmarked for any specific programs in Massachusetts as the Lottery allows cities and towns to choose how they would like to allocate their funds, with examples of funded programs including public safety staffing and equipment, snow removal, local road improvements, school services, programs for seniors, and more. In the fiscal year 2023, the Massachusetts Lottery returned a record $1.2 billion in net profit to the Commonwealth for distribution of unrestricted local aid to the 351 towns and cities in Massachusetts, which Lotto.com is honored to now be contributing to.

Customers in Massachusetts can order official state lottery tickets on Lotto.com for popular lottery games including Powerball® and Mega Millions®, as well as popular scratch ticket games via Lotto.com’s first to market Digital Scratch ticket offering. This innovation allows customers to order and play official state lottery scratch tickets “winever,”™ on their computer, laptop, or preferred mobile device.

Colorado-Resident Received The Winning News While on Vacation

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lotto.com, the nation’s first lottery platform to digitally deliver official state lottery draw games and scratch tickets, is celebrating another big win of $100,000 on the platform. The Colorado resident, who chose to remain anonymous, won big in the Powerball drawing on September 25th, missing the $224 million jackpot by only one number.

The customer has been playing on Lotto.com for two years, and was taking time off of work when he ordered the winning ticket. He shared that he and his wife are frequent customers of Lotto.com, and enjoy playing Digital Scratch tickets specifically. This $100,000 win comes on the heels of a $3 million prize from a MONOPOLY™ 500X scratch ticket in Colorado last year.

“We are thrilled to see another win out of Colorado,” said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. “It’s always great to see our loyal customers win big, and as we continue to grow Lotto.com nationwide, we look forward to welcoming new customers and celebrating more wins!”
