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 of the island to purchase tickets for popular draw games via mobile devices or computers, tapping into a market that generated nearly $500 million in sales in Fiscal Year 2025.
“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.” Currently, Lotto.com offers only draw games in Puerto Rico, including Powerball®, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash (with Multiplicador and Revancha X2), and daily favorites such as Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4.
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.
Lotto.com has already seen massive success on the island, with over 1,000 winners since launch, and nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order, demonstrating continued momentum and increasing adoption of its platform. 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 company is headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, and is the only BBB Accredited lottery courier service, certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). Lotto.com 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.
