Lotto.com, the nation's first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, announced today its expansion into Puerto Rico, making the company's first market launch outside of the contiguous United States. The move allows residents to purchase draw game tickets digitally, including popular games such as Powerball, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash, and daily favorites Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4.
'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.'
Puerto Rico's lottery market generated nearly $500 million in sales in Fiscal Year 2025, reflecting a strong and engaged player base. Lotto.com has already seen success on the island, with over 1,000 winners since launch and nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order. The company's secure digital platform aims to expand access and convenience for players.
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, and other community services.
All prizes under $1,200 in Puerto Rico 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. 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 expansion into Puerto Rico underscores Lotto.com's commitment to bringing digital lottery access to new markets while supporting state-run programs. As a BBB Accredited lottery courier service certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), Lotto.com emphasizes security, compliance, and responsible gaming. The company has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires via state-run games, including a $3 million Scratch Tickets win in Colorado.
