3. Account Registration and Use. You are limited to one (1) account. Accounts are non-transferrable and for personal use only. You may be able to access your account through the website, through the mobile app, or through any other means that we may make available to you from time to time. To open an account, you must provide personal information, including name, address, email, phone number and date of birth so that we can establish your identity. We may also request your social security number (in whole or in part), copies of identification documents such as a driver’s license or passport, and any other information or documentation we deem necessary to help in the identification process. By providing your personal information and documents, you expressly authorize us to share your information with third-party verification services and databases for the purposes of establishing your identity. You agree to provide accurate information and to continually update any changes to that information. We reserve the right to reject your application for an account, or if an account has already been established, to block access, suspend or cancel your account, and where permitted by law to void or invalidate any Tickets or winnings, if we are unable to verify your identity, have reason to believe that you do not meet one or more of the eligibility requirements, or for any other reason and in our sole discretion.

4. Participation in the Services. You must be physically located in a state or jurisdiction where Lotto.com provides its Services (“Authorized Jurisdiction”) to order Tickets. By using our Services, you expressly consent to the collection, storage, processing and transmission of your data, including IP address, WiFi signal and other means, to establish your physical location.

If we or our third-party providers cannot establish your location for any reason, we reserve the right to prevent you from accessing or using the Services until your location is verified.
You agree that we are not liable for any violation of any local, state, federal, or other laws or regulations that may occur as a result of your use of our Services. The availability of the Services outside of an Authorized Jurisdiction does not constitute an offer, solicitation or invitation by us for you to use our Services.
See list of Authorized Jurisdictions on our Website
5. Payments, Deposits and Withdrawals. You may use any method available and accepted by us to deposit money into your account or otherwise provide money for your order. We may also, from time to time, grant you non-refundable and non-withdrawable credits for use on orders on Lotto.com. Except for winnings from official state lottery tickets obtained through Lotto.com, and except where otherwise prohibited by law, all deposits or funds put into your account are non-refundable and non-withdrawable and must be used to order tickets.
By initiating a deposit into or withdrawal from your account, or by otherwise funding your account, you agree and hereby authorize us to instruct third-party providers including banks, credit cards, electronic payment processors and financial institutions (“Third-Party Providers”) to handle deposits and withdrawals. You further agree and consent to us providing such Third-Party Providers with your personal information as needed to complete the transaction and agree to abide by any Third-Party Provider’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy in effect at the time, as applicable. We reserve the right to deduct any charges or other fees we incur from the Third-Party Providers or other parties related to your withdrawals and deposits.
We will pay any requested withdrawals via the same method of your deposit or payment or via other electronic means. We may require additional proof of identification before a withdrawal request is granted. YOU MUST PROVIDE ACCURATE AND COMPLETE INFORMATION TO US WHEN REQUESTING A WITHDRAWAL. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS CAUSED BY YOU DURING THE WITHDRAWAL PROCESS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DELAYS OR MISALLOCATION OF YOUR FUNDS. If an error caused by you results in lost or misallocated funds or other undesired outcome, we will use reasonable efforts to rectify the issue but we do not guarantee a full return of the funds to you.
We are not responsible for any taxes you may owe related to or arising from your use of the Services including taxes owed on winnings. We may report your winnings to the appropriate state or federal authorities if required by law.
We reserve the right to review all transactions and to withhold deposited or credited funds and winnings if we reasonably believe that the deposit or payment was unauthorized, misused or fraudulent. We will report all matters of unauthorized, misused or fraudulent deposits, payments or withdrawals, including Chargebacks (defined below), to the appropriate state or federal authorities if required by rule, law, or regulations or otherwise at our discretion. We may conduct our own investigation into the matter and may temporarily or permanently close your account during such time or thereafter. By creating an account and/or requesting or utilizing the Services in any way, you hereby consent to any reasonable investigations which we may deem necessary, in our sole discretion, for the purpose of verifying customer information, including but not limited to, identify verification, source of funds, and background checks.
6. Chargebacks. You agree not to dispute, deny or attempt to reverse any financial transaction or make any fraudulent financial transactions with us (collectively “Chargebacks”). You agree to indemnify and reimburse us for any Chargebacks and any financial loss suffered by us as a consequence including damages, fees, expenses, and investigatory costs relating to or arising from such Chargebacks. If a Chargeback occurs, you agree that we may provide necessary information about you and the Chargeback to Third-Party Providers, regulators, law enforcement, or other necessary third-parties in order to resolve the Chargeback. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend your account without notice until any Chargebacks or other financial disputes are resolved.
7. Account Activity
A. Fees. The service fees to use our Services vary by game and by jurisdiction. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree to pay such service fees and that we may deduct such service fees from your account.
B. Final Sale. All orders for Tickets fulfilled through our Services are final and non-refundable. You agree not to allow any other person to use your account and further agree that any orders placed through your account will be valid even if you have not authorized such orders.
C. Timing of Orders. Orders for Tickets on Draw Games made after the cutoff time set by the official state lottery or by us, at your request or in our discretion, and where permitted by law, may be rolled into the next available drawing. We will use reasonable efforts to fulfill Tickets ordered prior to the posted cutoff time and store such Tickets on your behalf. Subscription Purchases (i.e., advance purchases of Tickets) will be processed on your behalf after the previous drawing and before the posted cutoff time in states or jurisdictions allowing such advanced purchases. If orders or drawings are not completed for any reason, funds may be returned to your account or rolled into the next drawing at your request or in our discretion, where permitted by law. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING OUT PRIZES IF A TICKET WAS NEVER PURCHASED ON YOUR BEHALF, FOR WHATEVER REASON.
D. Quick Picks. The Lotto.com "Quick Picks" feature is a number selection helper, offering you the ability to automatically select the numbers on a virtual playslip. These numbers are derived from a
lab certified random number generator (or “RNG”) and can be re-selected by you prior to completing an order.
E. Bonuses and Promotions. From time to time, we may issue non-withdrawable credits to your account for promotional purposes and these credits may only be used for the purpose of ordering Tickets (“Promotions”). Only the winnings attributed to such credits can be withdrawn. We may accept, deny, limit, modify, reclaim or cancel any unused promotional credits at any time and for any reason, at our sole discretion. Promotions are valid for a limited time only and may be subject to additional qualifying terms and conditions. Each Promotion is limited to one use per and may not be combined with any other promotions. Promotions are void where prohibited by law. Unless we specifically state otherwise, Lotto.com will not honor promotions offered by a state lottery.
F. Rules. It is your responsibility to understand the rules of the lottery games you order. Check the relevant official State lottery website for rules in your jurisdiction.
G. Winnings. Most states set a maximum dollar value for which Lotto.com or its retail partners can redeem winning Tickets on a customer’s behalf (“Retailer Limit”). You agree and authorize Lotto.com to collect winnings at or under the relevant Retailer Limit on your behalf and deposit such winnings into your account as payable credits. For the avoidance of doubt, your order of a Ticket through Lotto.com constitutes an electronic signature on your Ticket consenting to redemption of any resulting prize at or below the Retailer Limit. If you are a New Jersey Customer and wish to opt out of this service, please contact success@lotto.com prior to the drawing for such Ticket.
The Retailer Limit varies by state and is based on that state’s implementation of applicable IRS rules. In general, the Retailer Limit is set by the state lottery between $500 and $600. For more information about state specific redemption limits, please visit the official state lottery website in the jurisdiction in which you order your Tickets.
Winnings above the Retail Limit must be claimed by you with the lottery in the state in which the winning Ticket was issued. Tickets with winnings above the Retail Limit can be delivered to you either (i) by courier or mail service at Lotto.com’s expense or (ii) in person at Lotto.com’s processing or retail location where your winning Ticket was processed. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PICK UP TICKETS WITH WINNINGS OVER THE RETAIL LIMIT IN PERSON. Lotto.com will contact you directly with instructions on how to claim your prize for winnings over the Retail Limit.
Lotto.com may require you to provide additional information and documents to verify your identity before providing you with any physical winning Ticket. Lotto.com may also require you to sign certain documents and agreements before a physical Ticket is surrendered to you. Failure to sign such documents and agreements may delay the release of the Ticket. You are responsible for claiming any prizes associated with a physical winning Ticket with the state lottery or authorized retailer in the state in which the winning Ticket was issued once Lotto.com has released such Ticket to you.
Except where prohibited by rule, law or regulation, if your winnings are for a free Ticket, Lotto.com will automatically redeem the winning Ticket and order the free Ticket on your behalf. If Lotto.com is unable to provide you with the free Ticket, for whatever reason, Lotto.com will credit your account with non-withdrawable credits equal to the purchase price of the free Ticket.
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ONCE A PHYSICAL WINNING TICKET HAS BEEN RELEASED TO YOU PERSONALLY OR DEPOSITED WITH A MAIL OR LETTER CARRIER SERVICE FOR DELIVERY TO YOU, LOTTO.COM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST, STOLEN, DAMAGED, DELAYED OR OTHERWISE UNREDEEMABLE WINNING TICKETS AND YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ASSUME THE RISK OF LOSS, DAMAGE OR DELAY FOR ANY SUCH PHYSICAL TICKET.
H. Official Records. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Ticket’s winning numbers and prize amounts posted in your account and on the website or through the mobile app are accurate and available within a reasonable time. However, in the event of an error, the winning numbers and prize amounts in the official records of the state lottery or regulator in that particular jurisdiction will stand as the final determination of winning numbers and prize monies.
I. Publicity. Where permitted by law, for prizes over $5,000, Lotto.com may request that you participate in a prize-winning ceremony which may include photography and media interviews.
J. Tickets. Tickets received through our Services will be held in trust by Lotto.com as a bearer instrument within the meaning of applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not receive a physical Ticket except where expressly stated in these Terms. You will receive a scanned copy of any Tickets fulfilled through the Services. It is your responsibility to ensure the safekeeping of the images of your Tickets and we are not responsible for any issues or disputes that may arise from others using or viewing Ticket images we have provided to you.
K. Validity of Tickets. No customer request or payment for Service and no receipt or acknowledgment of any such request constitutes evidence of a validly issued Ticket. In order for a draw game Ticket ordered through Lotto.com to be deemed valid, it must be physically generated by an authorized state lottery terminal. In order for a scratch Ticket ordered through Lotto.com to be deemed valid, it must meet all criteria for validity established by the state lottery by law or rule in the jurisdiction of order.
L. Dormant Account. If your account has been inactive for thirteen (13) consecutive months, the account will be considered dormant. We will make all reasonable attempts to contact you to determine whether you wish to keep the account active or close the account. No fees will be charged during the period of dormancy. We reserve the right to close dormant accounts and return all funds to you less any applicable fees imposed on us by a third-party credit provider you use.
M. Scratch Tickets. Lotto.com may allow you to order official state lottery scratch tickets through the website or mobile app (“Scratch Ticket”). If you order Scratch Tickets, you authorize Lotto.com to scan and scratch the Scratch Tickets, on your behalf, to reveal any winnings (“Scratch Fulfillment Process”). You will then be able to virtually access those Scratch Tickets through the website or mobile app. If a Scratch Ticket is damaged during the Scratch Fulfillment Process such that the Scratch Ticket will not be redeemable at the local official state lottery (as determined by us in our sole discretion) or we are unable to show that Scratch Ticket’s image on the website or mobile app in order for you to be able to virtually access such Scratch Ticket, we will fulfill the order with the next available Scratch Ticket or, if no other Scratch Tickets are available, provide you with a credit refunding your account in the amount of the unfulfilled part of the order. THIS IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DAMAGED OR OTHERWISE UNDELIVERABLE SCRATCH TICKETS.
Scratch Tickets may or may not be in sequential order when orders are filled. The redemption procedures for any winning Scratch Tickets are detailed in paragraph G of this Section 7.
8. Account Closure By Us. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT AND USE OF OUR SERVICES IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS (OR WE REASONABLY BELIEVE IT HAS OR WILL OCCUR): (1) YOU ARE IN MATERIAL BREACH OF THESE TERMS, (2) YOU COMMITTED (OR ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT) A FRAUD AGAINST US OR A THIRD PARTY USING THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE USE THE SERVICES FOR UNLAWFUL OR IMPROPER PURPOSES, (3) YOU IMPROPERLY DENY ANY DEPOSITS OR CAUSE CHARGEBACKS, (4) WE ARE INSTRUCTED BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OR REGULATORY AGENCY, COURT OR BY OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO DO SO, OR (5) IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
YOU AGREE TO COMPENSATE US, IN FULL, FOR ANY COSTS, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES) WE INCUR RELATED TO, OR ARISING OUT OF, YOUR BREACH OF THESE TERMS.
9. Limited Power of Attorney. You agree to grant us a limited power of attorney for certain purposes related to the Services including, but not limited to, (i) fulfilling an order for Tickets at a licensed retailer on your behalf, (ii) scanning and sending you a digital image of your Tickets, (iii) securely storing your Tickets, (iv) cashing your Tickets if the prize is below the Retailer Limit in your jurisdiction, and (v) physically distributing your Tickets to you if the prize is above the Retailer Limit.

We will investigate and make a good faith effort to respond to all complaints within a reasonable timeframe. You agree to exhaust all reasonable means available and follow any complaint resolution procedures we put in place.
If the parties are unable to resolve the problem after exhausting all reasonable means and resolution procedures, the parties agree that any disputes, claims or controversies arising between you and us related to or arising out of your use of our website, mobile app, any other Services, or these Terms and Policies will be resolved by binding arbitration.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
Any award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and conclusive upon the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in the highest court of any forum, state or federal, having jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not have authority to award any incidental, indirect, special, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for lost profits.
B. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. All proceedings against Lotto.com or its parents, subsidiaries or other affiliated entities and their respective owners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, and agents, whether in arbitration or litigation, will be conducted in each party’s individual capacity only.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the parties may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its respective intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets.
If any clause in this Section 12 is found to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in this Section 12.
13. Governing Laws and Jurisdiction. These Terms shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to conflict of law principles, except if the dispute involves a transaction, alleged transaction, or attempted transaction within New York, for which the Terms shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. THE PARTIES EACH WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

22. Local Terms and Conditions. In addition to the Terms and Policies, you will also be subject to all terms and conditions of the official state lottery and regulators governing the Ticket orders we are fulfilling on your behalf.
23. Responsible Play; Self Exclusion; Lottery Scams.
A. Self-Exclusion. You may exclude yourself from our Services (“Self-Excluded Person”) via the website or through the mobile app. In doing so, you will be prevented from using our Services while you are excluded. You can get instructions on how to self-exclude by contacting us at success@lotto.com.
B. Deposit and Spend Limits. You may set deposit and spend limits through the website or through the mobile app. This will prevent you from purchasing more Tickets than your spending limits allow. For instructions on setting limits, contact us at success@lotto.com.
C. Avoid Lottery Scams. You should be careful about potential scammers who may send false announcements regarding lottery prizes. As part of the scam, an individual is contacted by phone, email, text message, or a letter from a scammer who is claiming that the recipient has won a prize with the official state lottery. This is a fraudulent claim and there is no such prize. Never respond to these communications and never provide information or send money to a scammer.
WARNING SIGNS OF A SCAM:
The official state lottery does NOT know who the winners are until they come forward with a winning ticket. The lottery will not notify YOU, you will notify them.
The official state lottery NEVER requires the payment of any money in order to claim a prize.
No one should ever send any money to pay a ‘processing fee’ or any other requested fee in order to claim a prize.
Never deposit any check sent to you that is accompanied by a request that you send or wire money to cover processing or claiming fees. The check that you’ve received is fraudulent and will bounce.
Never provide any personal or financial information to a scammer, especially Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, and credit card numbers.
If you suspect a scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or at the FTC Consumer Information website. You should also contact the lottery in your Authorized Jurisdiction.
24. Licensed Courier. Lotto.com is licensed to provide its courier services within the Authorized Jurisdictions. Protect yourself and use a licensed courier.
Using an unlicensed courier service may expose you to fraud or other illegal activity.
25. Independent Courier. Lotto.com is not part of any official state lottery. No lottery guarantees or has any liability for Lotto.com's customer activities.
