Massachusetts iLottery

The Massachusetts iLottery provides the opportunity to take part in a wide range of draw games and instant games via your phone or computer. Find out everything you need to know about playing online in Massachusetts.

The MA Lottery is one of the most popular state lotteries in the U.S., with more money spent per person on lottery tickets in the Bay State than anywhere else. An iLottery has long been regarded as the logical next step to help boost the player experience, and there has finally been progress in recent years.

Launching in the summer of 2026, the new platform gives you a way to play your favorite games directly through the Massachusetts Lottery website or app.

Apart from Keno and The Numbers Game – which are being kept as in-store exclusives – the MA iLottery has a full range of games to explore and enjoy. This includes multi-state draws such as Powerball, Mega Millions and Millionaire for Life, along with Massachusetts-only titles such as Megabucks and Mass Cash.

New online-only draw games Pick 3 and Pick 4 offer greater flexibility over how to play than any other lottery. For example, you can decide whether to try to match the winning numbers in exact order or any order, and even how much to wager.

Instant games give you the opportunity to win huge prizes on the spot without having to wait for a draw, while there is the promise of more innovation ahead. Virtual horse racing will have drawings every four minutes, while the arrival of the online system will also help the Massachusetts Lottery to run raffles in the future.

Play the Lottery Online Today

Even before the iLottery was officially confirmed, it has been possible to play the lottery online in Massachusetts thanks to courier services such as Jackpot.com. This method provides a simple, secure and convenient way to take part over the internet and will continue to do so even after the launch of iLottery.

Using a lottery courier couldn’t be much easier. Start by signing up for an account on Jackpot.com, then follow the steps below:

• Select your game. Jackpot.com offers Powerball, Mega Millions, Millionaire for Life, Mass Cash, Megabucks and even The Numbers Game (which isn’t included as part of the iLottery). You can also choose from a wide array of instants.
• Pick your numbers. Select your own numbers or get a Quick Pick if you would prefer a random combination.
• Order your tickets. Check your selections, then add your tickets to the cart and head to the checkout to finalize your order and complete your purchase.

You can order your tickets from the comfort of home, while you are taking a break at work, or simply while you are out and about. After it’s done, sit back and relax until the draw takes place. An agent of the courier services goes out to buy the ticket on your behalf from an authorized vendor.

A scanned copy of your paper ticket is uploaded to your account as proof of purchase, so you can see your numbers at any time. Log in again after the draw to see if you have won, or you’ll be notified automatically anyway if you get a prize.

If you win a prize, it will be paid directly into your player account without you needing to do anything else (up to the value of $600)! For larger wins, you’ll be guided through the process. It involves the courier service securely delivering your ticket to you so that you can claim the prize from the Massachusetts Lottery directly. You have one year from the draw date to claim prizes in MA.

Benefits of Playing Online

Whether you play Massachusetts games through the iLottery or a lottery courier such as Jackpot.com, it works in a similar way and offers similar benefits. Here are the main advantages over playing in-store.

• No more standing in line at your local convenience store. Grab your phone instead and choose your numbers in a matter of seconds.
• Your numbers can’t get lost, damaged or stolen like they could do with a paper ticket. They are stored safely in a digital account.
• You don’t even need to check your ticket when you play online. It is checked for you and you are alerted by email when you win a prize.
• The claims process is much smoother, with most prizes paid automatically into your account.

All transactions are carried out safely and promptly, while there are customer support agents on hand to help if you do experience any issues. The option to buy tickets at a retailer will always be available, but playing online is set to become increasingly popular.
