Buying Official Lottery Tickets Online
So where do you buy lottery tickets for official draws? Well, the first place is of course, the website of the lottery itself. This is a good option for people who live in the jurisdiction where the lottery is held. For example, US Citizens can purchase the Powerball and MegaMillions lottery tickets through the official websites. However, how about people who don’t live in said jurisdiction. For example, how can someone from Australia participate in the US Powerball?
Today, we also have online lottery services that cater to people who want to take part in lotteries not available in their jurisdiction. You need to go to their website, pick the lottery you want, choose your numbers, and pay for your tickets. Once that’s done, a local representative will purchase the tickets on your behalf. You will be sent a copy of your ticket to prove that the purchase was made. Now all that’s left to do is wait for the draw to see if you’ve won!
Participating in official lotteries outside your jurisdiction is still a difficult matter. Even if the lottery website is legitimate, some lottery organizations like the Powerball still reserve the right to refuse winners who are outside their jurisdiction.
German Lotto FAQ
It is easy to play the German Lotto and get in on the excitement and action. Simply go to a registered lottery retailer and fill out a game slip for the German Lotto. The slip will ask the player to pick six numbers between one and forty-nine. The slip will also ask you to pick one bonus number between one and ten. The object is to try to pick the numbers that will show up when the lottery drawing occurs.
The cost of a ticket to play the German Lotto is just €1 per ticket (+ handling fee). Any player may purchase as many tickets as he or she would like. That player may also choose to play the same numbers for multiple drawings for the cost of another ticket per drawing if he or she chooses to do so.
The drawing for the German Lotto game occurs twice weekly every Wednesday and Saturday night. Make sure to have your tickets purchased at least one hour in advance of the drawing as this is when the cut-off to purchase tickets for that drawing is.
The odds of winning in the German Lottery are approximately 1 in 31 when it comes to winning any prize at all. Obviously, the higher the prize amount, the harder it is to win. A breakdown of the odds to win various prizes is as follows:
- Jackpot: 1 in 139,838,160
- 6 Main Numbers: 1 in 15,537,573
- 5 Main Numbers Plus Super Ball: 1 in 542,008
- 5 Main Numbers: 1 in 60,223
- 4 Main Numbers Plus Super Ball: 1 in 10,324
- 4 Main Numbers: 1 in 1,147
- 3 Main Numbers Plus Super Ball: 1 in 567
- 3 Main Numbers: 1 in 63
- 2 Main Numbers Plus Super Ball: 1 in 76
This gives you an idea of what it takes to win the various prize combinations available. It is not easy to win at all, but the higher up you go, the less your odds.
It is important to pay attention to how old you have to be in order to play any particular lottery game. The answer for this game is 18 years old.
Unlike lotteries held in many other parts of the world, the winnings from a lottery in Germany are actually tax-free. The amount that you see that you have won is really the amount that you will receive as a result of being a winner. It is a nice bonus on top of winning the money in the first place!
This game has two minimum jackpot numbers that depend upon what day of the week a player is playing. The Wednesday drawing of this game has a minimum jackpot of 1 million Euros while the minimum jackpot for Saturday is 3 million Euros. Those jackpots increase if there are no winners for any given drawing.
Anyone wishing to play the German Lotto game must be in Germany to purchase the ticket. They are only sold at retailers within the country.
Big Online Lottery Winners
Jenn Burston has always bought tickets to the EuroMillions online and on December 17, 2014, what was initially a £3,000 minor prize win turned into a whooping £3 million. On that draw, the jackpot prize was already capped, so when nobody won the grand prize, the money rolled over to secondary prize winners, giving Jenn and her husband an early Christmas present. Because they played the EuroMillions online they were able to see how much they won straight away.
Bill Laharty from Nanaimo BC is a regular user of PlayNow.com, a legit online lotto website. In August 13, 2016, his efforts finally paid off as he became the largest lottery winner in Canada after netting the $21 million jackpot of the Lotto 6/49. Laharty used his winnings not only to purchase himself a condo and a car, but to help out his family and friends.
WinTrillions, another lotto website, has had 191,835 winners to date. One of its most notable winners is Katie from Lancaster. Katie, who is a US citizen, missed playing lotteries from back home so she used WinTrillions.com to purchase tickets to the Mega Millions’s March 25, 2011 draw. Although she did not win the jackpot, she did take home the 2nd prize of $250,000 for matching 5 numbers.
Lottoland, a popular betting website, has had several lottery jackpot winners of its own. Its largest winner to date is Mathias from Germany who took home the €22 Million jackpot prize from the 6aus49 last April 30, 2016. According to Mathias, he uses the website because it allows him to bet on lotteries in a simple and easy manner.

Lottery Betting
Another way to participate in lotteries online is to bet on their outcome instead of actually taking part in official draws. Online lottery betting websites allow users to predict the outcome of official draws and if their numbers coincide with the winners of the actual draw, they get to take home the same cash value as the actual winners of the lottery.
Lottery betting online is quite controversial, as some people see it as a “fake” lottery. While there are some lottery scams here and there, reputable sites like Lottoland do give players the same experience as if it’s an actual draw. The odds are the same, the jackpot is the same, and the company is insured in the event of a grand prize winner. Some people actually prefer lottery betting websites compared to actual lottery draws because as mentioned above, some official draws are strict about players outside their jurisdiction. Since you’re dealing with the lottery betting company itself, not the actual lottery organization, you are not limited by jurisdictional issues.

Rules for Playing Online Lottery
Following the rules when playing lotteries online is very important, as any violation of terms and conditions could result in you not getting your earnings and your account being terminated. While some websites have rules specific to them, here are some of the general ones that all websites follow:
- You must be 18 years old or higher, unless you live in jurisdictions where the legal age for gambling is 21 (e.g. Estonia).
- You must ensure that participating in online lotteries is not illegal in your jurisdiction.
- Your jurisdiction must not be in the designated lottery’s list of prohibited jurisdictions.
- You must not be blacklisted by relevant financial organizations.
- Each person must only have one account. Lottery websites prohibit the use of duplicate accounts and account sharing.
- All information given during sign-up should be accurate and true. Winners have to undergo an identity verification check and if the company finds out that the information you provided during sign up was fraudulent, your winnings will be considered null and void.
- For security purposes, employees cannot participate in lottery activities of their own website. For example, employees of theLotter may participate in other lotteries, just not lotteries held by theLotter.
