The company, which has gradually expanded its operations over the past few years, said it recently launched a dedicated theLotter Minnesota website. It now offers players in Minnesota the chance to play top Minnesota Lottery draw games online.
Officials said theLotter Minnesota operates as an independent, secure courier service for Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto America, Gopher 5 and Northstar Cash and the official Minnesota Lottery tickets, all of which are available to be sold to Minnesota residents.
Peggy Daniel, theLotter’s US Managing Director, said theLotter Minnesota provides customers with a host of unique functionalities, none of which are available in-store. These include subscriptions to special multi-draw packages, offers such as every 10th ticket free and real-time jackpot alerts.
One of the most popular features for players reportedly is the website offers the facility to see a scan of the actual paper ticket a client has purchased.
“We have been around as a company since 2002, when we pioneered online lottery play,” Daniel said in a statement. “Our recent launch in Minnesota is a great milestone. I am truly excited about the potential for growth in Minnesota and the additional funds we will help provide for local wildlife protection, education, public safety and other causes.
According to Daniel, online lottery play offers “convenience and safety.” She said all past winners have successfully claimed their prize money and collected their winnings, which has aided the trust customers in other states have developed in theLotter.
“When a client wins any prize at all, we notify them. Winnings of up to $600 are transferred directly to a client’s account. Prizes over that amount can be collected in person at offices of the Minnesota Lottery. It is that level of transparency and security that has inspired the trust customers have in us. I am certain Minnesotans will embrace our service in a similar fashion.”
