If you want to play online, you need to make sure that the lottery you want to play is legal in your state. Most states have websites for their lotteries, and you can use them to purchase tickets, check out the winning numbers, and find out where the lottery is held. There are also websites that allow you to buy lottery tickets from outside of the state. There are also third-party apps like Jackpocket that allow you to purchase lottery tickets.

You can play online lottery games in seven states: Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maryland, Michigan, and Washington.
