Lotto.com, the nation's first online lottery platform for digitally delivering draw games and scratch tickets, has expanded into Puerto Rico, marking the company's first market launch outside the contiguous United States. The announcement was made on July 9, 2026, by Lotto.com Inc., headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey.
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.'
Currently, Lotto.com offers only draw games in Puerto Rico, allowing players across the island 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. These games can be accessed from preferred mobile devices or computers.
Puerto Rico's lottery market is substantial, with 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, indicating growing adoption of its digital platform.
The Lotería Electrónica of Puerto Rico plays a vital role in supporting the island's social programs. Proceeds from lottery sales benefit essential initiatives such as education, healthcare, 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 in Puerto Rico, winnings are deposited directly to the player's online account. For larger 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 U.S. states including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Oregon, with plans for further expansion. The company has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires through state-run games, including a $3 million scratch ticket win in Colorado. Lotto.com is the only BBB Accredited lottery courier service and is certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) and the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).
