Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, has expanded into Puerto Rico, marking the company’s first market launch outside the contiguous United States. The announcement, made July 9, 2026, allows players across the island to participate in popular draw 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 mobile devices or computers.
“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 during Fiscal Year 2025, reflecting a strong and engaged player base. Lotto.com has already seen significant traction on the island, with over 1,000 winners since launch and nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order. This high retention rate demonstrates growing adoption of the platform within the market.
The Lotería Electrónica of Puerto Rico plays a vital role in supporting the island’s social programs. Proceeds from lottery sales benefit education, healthcare initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and other essential services. 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.
For prize winnings under $1,200, funds are deposited directly to the player’s online account. For amounts 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: 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. It 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, Lotto.com has created 12 millionaires via state-run games, including the largest Lotto.com Scratch Tickets win of $3 million to a customer in Colorado. The company introduced Lotto.com Scratch Tickets in June 2023, which are now available in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Ohio, and Oregon. For more information, visit www.lotto.com.
