Lotto.com Expands to Puerto Rico, Marking First Move Outside Mainland U.S.

Lotto.com, the first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, has expanded into Puerto Rico, marking the company's first market launch outside of the contiguous United States. The announcement, made on July 9, 2026, brings the platform to the island, offering residents a digital way to participate in lottery draw games.

Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc., stated, '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.' Lotto.com currently offers only draw games in Puerto Rico, including popular games such as Powerball®, Powerplay, Double Play, Loto Cash (with Multiplicador and Revancha X2), and daily favorites Pega 2, Pega 3, and Pega 4. Players can access these games from their mobile device or computer.

Puerto Rico's lottery market generated nearly $500 million in sales in Fiscal Year 2025, reflecting strong engagement and interest. Lotto.com has already seen success on the island, with over 1,000 winners since launch and nearly 90% of customers returning to play after their first order. This demonstrates continued momentum and adoption of its platform.

The Lotería Electrónica of Puerto Rico plays a vital role in supporting the island, with proceeds benefiting essential social programs such as education, healthcare initiatives, and infrastructure improvements. Since its inception, it 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 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 states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Oregon, with plans to expand into more states soon. The company has over 4 million customers and has created 12 millionaires via 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).
