Lottery Introduces Innovative Digital Scratch Tickets
Soon, you may not even have to leave the house in order to pick up your scratch-off tickets!
Lotto.com has announced new, digital scratch tickets—an innovative take on the popular lottery tickets that make up two-thirds of the $100+ billion U.S. lottery market—which are about to make instant gratification even more instant.
The new offering is already available to customers in Texas and Colorado, where consumers can order and play official state scratch-offs on their phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, with plans to expand to more states soon.
The ticket provider aims to bring in new players with the updated option, as well as bring in more revenue for the causes that the lottery supports, such as public education.
