Texans can play the lottery - whether it’s Powerball or Mega Millions or one of our Lone Star State favorites like Lotto Texas - without going to a retailer to buy a ticket in person. They do this by accessing theLotter Texas online – on their computer or mobile phone. They register on the site, pick the lottery they want to play, fill out their tickets with their lucky numbers or with a random selection, and confirm their ticket order. Once they do that, our agents go out and buy the actual official Texas Lottery tickets. We scan them as proof of purchase. If the customer wins less than $600, we’ll credit their account with the prize. If the customer wins a larger amount, we’ll make sure they get their physical ticket so that they can claim their prize in person.
