More than two dozen states now allow for some form of online lottery purchases.
The Powerball jackpot has now reached $550 million. And that means plenty of Americans will likely be lining up to buy tickets for Wednesday night’s drawing, which is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. EST.
“People are more comfortable with being able to do everything on their phone,” said Bill Speros, a senior betting analyst with Bookies.com, a gambling site. Add it up, and more than two dozen states allow for some form of online lottery purchases, according to the Bonus.com site. So, while the lottery purchase is a digital transaction, there’s ultimately paper involved. Users “can even see a scan of the physical ticket in the app,” said Jackpocket founder and chief executive Peter Sullivan.
For starters, many states have yet to join the online lottery bandwagon. As it is, there are a handful of states that don’t have a lottery program at all. Naturally, there’s a counter argument made by companies in the online lottery business. Specifically, they point to studies that show younger people are less likely to play the lottery — and they argue that one way to change that is by making it more inviting for them to do so via digital platforms, which, after all, is where they live out their daily financial lives.
