Lotto.com Expands Digital Lottery Access to Puerto Rico, Marking First Market Outside Mainland US

Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, has expanded into Puerto Rico, marking its first market launch outside the contiguous United States. The company announced on July 9, 2026, that it will now offer digital lottery services to residents of the island, providing a convenient way to participate in popular draw games such as Powerball, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash, and daily favorites including Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4.

This expansion into Puerto Rico represents a significant milestone for Lotto.com as it extends its reach beyond the U.S. mainland. Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc., stated, “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 is substantial, with nearly $500 million in sales during Fiscal Year 2025, reflecting a strong player base and continued interest in lottery participation. Lotto.com has already seen success on the island, reporting over 1,000 winners since launch and a nearly 90% customer retention rate, indicating strong adoption of its platform.

The Lotería Electrónica of Puerto Rico plays a vital role in supporting the island, with proceeds funding 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 prizes under $1,200, winnings are deposited directly into the player's online account. For prizes 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 for further expansion.

Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, Lotto.com is the first digital platform for ordering official state lottery draw and scratch games on both mobile and web platforms. As a lottery courier, Lotto.com helps lotteries contribute incremental funds to state-run programs across education, parks, emergency responders, veterans' health, and other services. 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. Lotto.com has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires via state-run games, including the largest Lotto.com Scratch Tickets win of $3 million to a customer in Colorado.
