Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, has announced its expansion into Puerto Rico, marking the company's first market launch outside the contiguous United States. The move brings the convenience of digital lottery access to residents across the island, allowing them to participate in popular games such as Powerball, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash (with Multiplicador and Revancha X2), and daily favorites including Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4 from their preferred mobile device or computer.
Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the expansion, stating, 'The expansion into Puerto Rico represents an exciting chapter for Lotto.com. 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. This presents a significant opportunity for Lotto.com to expand access through its secure digital platform. Since its launch in Puerto Rico, Lotto.com has already seen over 1,000 winners, with nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order, demonstrating strong adoption and momentum.
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 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.
For players in Puerto Rico, all prizes under $1,200 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. This seamless process enhances the user experience and encourages participation.
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 the only BBB Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), underscoring its commitment to security, compliance, and responsible gaming.
With over 4 million customers and 12 millionaires created via state-run games, Lotto.com continues to grow its footprint. The largest Lotto.com Scratch Tickets win to date was $3 million to a customer in Colorado. For more information, visit www.lotto.com.
