That’s why we decided to find out where to buy lottery tickets online and play whenever you want to. Our top pick is Betanysports – a well-known lottery room offering a wide range of affordable lottery tickets, giving players great chances at winning huge prizes.

If you’re looking for a lottery you can trust, check out Betanysports. This site has been around since 2001 and has over 20 years of experience handling bets of all sorts.

Let’s dive in, shall we.

Betanysports offers a fairly wide selection of lottery tickets with all types of odds. And for the low price of $1 per ticket, this is a perfect choice for players who want to play the lottery online without breaking the bank.

Betanysports offers a very handy guide to walk you through buying your first lottery ticket so that you can go from zero to hero with minimal confusion. There are two main types of tickets available:

It’s important to note, however, that the maximum net profit per draw is capped at $100,000. Banking: 5/5.

The minimum and maximum deposit amounts vary depending on the payment method, with Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash being the most flexible. Crypto depositors can deposit as little as $25 and as much as $10,000, credit cards are limited to $50-$350, and electronic checks are stuck with $100-$499.

Withdrawals by ACH transfer have a $100 fee and can only be done with amounts between $500 and $4,250, while checks cost $60 and have a $1,000-$3,000 limit. Finally, wire transfers also have a $60 transaction fee but a much better $1,000 to $9,500 withdrawal range.

All in all, Betanysports is one of the best gambling sites online, giving players access to horse racing, a decent selection of real money online casino games, and a fairly nice sportsbook. We were impressed with the odds available on most betting lines at Betanysports.

>> Get exciting lotto tickets at Betanysports. Pros:

We found that Lucky99 offers a very similar lotto experience to Betanysports – 2-5 number lotteries, daily picks, and massive jackpot prizes worth up to $90,000. Also, it comes with excellent mobile compatibility, meaning that you can buy your lottery tickets whenever you want to.

Lucky99 offers a fantastic online gambling experience that is straightforward and offers plenty of fun. Players will be able to buy tickets in 2, 3, 4, and 5 number drawings, and while the prizes are not as big as you might find from some of the bigger lotto organizations like Powerball and Mega Millions – they more than makeup for it with increased odds.

Things only get easier when you shift to Pick 4 or 3 – albeit the prizes themselves do diminish. Regardless of how you like to play – Pick 2 or Pick 5, Boxed bet, or Straight – Lucky99 makes it easy to play from your mobile device’s native browser.

Banking: 5/5. You’ll run into a similar set of banking options here as with Betanysports.

Players can load up their accounts via money transfer, electronic checks, credit cards, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. Payouts can be made via Bitcoin, wire transfer, checks, and ACH transfers – with varying fees and limits.

We were impressed with Lucky99’s customer support options. Not only were they available 24/7 (a must for those who get their lotto inspirations late at night), but everyone we spoke with was fast and friendly – and knowledgeable.

>> Buy your tickets wherever you are by signing up at Lucky99. Pros:

Mega Millions started way back in 1996 under a different name and has grown from a lowly 6 participating states to the monstrosity it is today. Without a doubt, it is one of the most recognizable lottery names in the US and offers some of the biggest prizes around – play it at The Lotter for the best experience.

Lottery Options: 4.8/5. We prefer to buy our online Mega Millions tickets through The Lotter because it is one of the few websites we’ve found that charges reasonable fees upfront and doesn’t demand any portion of your winnings should you strike it rich.

Since these tickets usually run $2, that means there is a 150% markup, which is extremely reasonable for this sort of service. One of the things we love about buying our Mega Millions tickets from The Lotter is how much flexibility they give us – there are a wealth of options available for you here.

For example, if you have a bunch of numbers you like and you want to buy tickets for all the possible combinations – use the Systematic button. Or you can use the Multi-Draw to buy the same tickets week after week and save up to 25%.

Should one of the tickets purchased this way win, you’ll split the winnings according to the shares purchased, so buying more shares will guarantee you a bigger slice. Banking: 4.75/5.

Players will be able to withdraw funds from their account using Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and bank transfer, though max payout size and timelines vary with each method. Overall: 4.8/5.

If they had to buy you a physical ticket, you’d still get a scanned version. Should you have to pick up your winnings in person, they’ll help you not only figure out where you need to be to claim your prize but work with you to figure out how to get there.

>> Buy Mega Millions tickets at The Lotter. Pros:

Finally, we have the Powerball. While most states participate in this lottery, online ticket buying has made it possible for everyone to get in on the fun – and with massive grand prizes often sitting in the hundreds of millions, it’s not one to miss.

Just like with Mega Millions, we recommend players use The Lotter to buy Power Ball tickets. It’s safe and easy to use and does not expect you to share your hard-won money with the house.

This is the same 150% markup The Lotter applies to its Mega Millions but is the only added fee you have to worry about. Players can buy anywhere from 3 to 25 tickets at a time with most of the same features we discussed above.

Banking: 4.7/5. US players can use Paysafecard, Neteller, and Skrill, as well as Visa or Mastercard, to buy their Powerball tickets.

Once you’ve created your account and set up your preferred payment method, you can buy tickets directly. This eliminates a lot of the hassle associated with online gambling.

Bundling your Powerball purchases can get you great odds and reduced ticket prices, thanks to The Lotter’s tiered bundle program. The Classic bundle will let you buy a share in a 65-ticket Syndicate and one personal entry for a little over $15.

Finally, the Premium bundle runs just under $30 and will get you a share in a 65-ticket group, a share in a 200-ticket group, and your very own personal entry, giving you several chances to walk away a winner. >> Buy Power Ball tickets at The Lotter.

You must have a variety of options available – whether that looks like access to lotteries from around the world, syndicate and group ticket options, or what have you. We’ve made sure to look into all of these and score appropriately.

Being able to load up your account with your preferred method of payment is fairly important. We look at what options are available as well as any fees or.

When it comes to the lottery, you have to play if you want to win. But if you really want to win, it helps to have some facts on your side.

A Delmarva Now analysis of 2017 and 2018 data from the commission found that lottery players across the state redeemed $1,830,694,410 in winnings over the two years. Locally, players in Worcester County won big, cashing in $25,075,046.30 in winning tickets in 2017 and 2018, with more than $10 million of that earned in Ocean City alone.

If you want to be one of those future winners, a good place to start might be to consider what games and locations where past winners have played. It’s not a sure-fire method to win, but it probably wouldn’t hurt.

The biggest winners of 2017 cashed their tickets at Gem Liquors on Annapolis Road in Lanham. There, players redeemed $1,793,600 playing Pick 4 Evening.

The two stores are just about 10 minutes away from each other. The single store to cash the most money was E-Z Convenience on Loch Raven Boulevard in Towson, where lottery players redeemed $10,659,577.80 in tickets between 2017 and 2018.

There, people won a total of $376,455,680.20 in cash prizes. If you’re not willing to cross the bay, the winningest county on this side of the state is Cecil County.

The store with the biggest redemptions locally is Chicken Man in Salisbury, where people have redeemed tickets worth $3,065,237.60. People there cash in primarily on scratch-offs and Pick 4 Mid-day.

Ocean Downs Casino Cage in Berlin brings in a lot of winners as well. Once again, scratch-offs and Pick 4 Evening drawings are the big winners there, but people redeemed a decent amount of tickets — a sum total of $222,079.50 — for RaceTrax, a computer-animated game that the Maryland Lottery website says “offers the thrill of horse racing and the payout and prizes of a Keno game.”.

(Keep in mind, however, those cities have large totals of winning in no small part because they have more stores and likely have more people playing.). As you may have guessed for local big winners, the sum total of scratch-offs seem to be where people are able to make the most money.

The odds change slightly from one instant win game to the next, so it’s up to you on which game you play. For what it’s worth, the tickets with the probability most in your favor are “$2,000,000 Richer,” “$2,000,000 Mega Bucks” and “$2,000,000 Fortune,” all of which have 1 in 2.82 odds according to the Maryland Lottery website.

A total of $750.9 million in sales were recorded in scratch-off sales in fiscal year 2018, marking the fourth consecutive year of record-breaking sales. The second-highest sum total of cash prizes is redeemed from RaceTrax winners.

The probability of win per $1 bet is 4.5 for horse no. 1, and 45.05 for horse no.

The odds for show rise to 1.7 for horse no. 1 and 13.2 for horse no.

That said, successfully better on horse no. 12 wins you $30, while a successful bet on horse no.

The third- and fourth-highest sum total of cash prizes come from Keno and Keno Super Bonus, respectively.

Winners are paid based on how many numbers were chosen, how many of those numbers match the winning ones and the wager the player made. Keno Super Bonus gives players a shot to multiply their winnings by up to 20 times.

There are a few reasons for that, one of which being that Maryland players don’t win those games as often as they are shared between several states. Another is that winning the full jackpot on those games, which is the huge number you hear about in the headlines, can be very, very difficult.

This story simply draws on 2017 and 2018 winnings databases shared by the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission with Delmarva Now through a public records request. To make a large single database, winning stores were joined with their addresses using retailer numbers and combined into a large single database.

While many people will cash their ticket winning at the store they bought it from, not everyone does — one theoretically could buy a ticket in Salisbury worth $500 and cash it on the other side of the state.

Those stores meet certain protocols set by Maryland Lottery and keep more cash on hand to anticipate larger tickets. Tickets between $5,001 and $25,000 must be redeemed at the Maryland Lottery’s Customer Resource Center in Baltimore, at the cashiers’ windows at Live.

Anything more than $25,001 must be redeemed at the Maryland Lottery’s office in Baltimore. Don’t worry — if you win, Maryland does not require you to reveal your identity as happens is required in many states.

There’s a chance that using this story to win the lottery will lead to success, but there’s also a much larger chance it doesn’t. Playing doesn’t equal a win, and if you find yourself gambling too much, there are resources out there to help.

Profit makes up 28.2 percent of the sales.

In fiscal year 2018, about 92 percent of profits went to the Maryland General Fund. The Maryland Stadium Authority and Baltimore City Schools gets $20 million each, and there are a few other organizations who also benefit from the profit.
