No.

When I first came here to LP theree was a discussion about online ticlet sellers and somebody pointed out that with this one particular one if you were to play with them and get all the numbers for a jackpot, regardless of the jackpot they were only going to pay $1 million.

(Yeah, sure they were).

Massachusetts somehow let's people anywhere buy tickets by subsciption, not sure how they get that on. But I wouldn't play that way, either.

Scratch offs are interactive games for instant gratification. What is the advantage of having someone else buy and scratch them for a fee and send you an e-mail telling you you lose, try again ? Since scratch-off aren't unique, the same tickets could be used over and over as long as a different sucker was on the line. Players that lazy and dumb shouldn't play lotteries.

I used to think no chance in hell.

But the sellers do send photo copies of tickets to players. If there was a jackpot winning ticket, I imagine he law would protect your rights to that ticket.

What about scratch offs?

I know it may seem crazy, but many people buy items online instead of going down the street to a store.

I really don't like to purchase anything online.

As BobP mentions if it was a state licensed vendor then there would be no worries but some Joe Smoe xyz corp. no way.

The Australian lottery games including their PowerBall are online through a state licenced vendor. Before our congress critters changed the law I bought tickets online through them because the odds were better and the tickets two for an Au Dollar for one of the games. I never felt a moment of concern.

Maybe, but not likely.

Now that MegaMillions and PowerBall will be sold in most states which also have a pick6, a pick5, a pick4 and a pick3 games locally, I would think there would be less demands for an online lottery ticket service. Why would anyone pay the 100% markup to buy lottery tickets online when they can buy them locally at regular prices

If I could get verification of my Purchase, get a printout through my Printer. but not before I did a background check on the company with the BBB, If all that turned out okay; Yes I would buy pick3 online. I would be cautiously optimistic with the pick 4 until I had a couple of paid wins with the pick 3! I have taken many chances in this life.

After all it's a gamble. And I am a gambler. I call myself An Investor in Digits

But gamblers who win want their money!!!!

I don't buy Mega, PB... [ More ]

I once did two waitresses, but I don't think it had any more to do with the lottery than market researchers.

No.

I believe most syndicates/services/brokers/agents etc actually buy the tickets. I just would not trust them when/if a $200 million jackpot were to happen... I want the ticket in my hot little hands when the drawing occurs.

quick question, help please

One quick question for active lottery members. I am doing some market researchers, would you ever consider buying lotto tickets online if it could all be verified
