From July 1, the Virginia Lottery will allow customers to buy individual tickets for popular lottery draws such as Powerball and Mega Millions online. It will also launch instant-win games on its website.Get more news about 棋牌包网,you can vist loto98.com

The executive director of the Virginia Lottery, Kevin Hall, said the upcoming launch makes Virginia the seventh US state to offer lottery games online. He added that the new offering allows the lottery to meet customers “where they already are, and where they expect to find us: online.”

The state government will use revenue from these online sales to provide further resources for the K-12 public schools in Virginia. Retail lottery sales will still continue in over 5,100 stores across the state. Previously, people in the state could only buy online subscriptions to large-draw ticket games like Mega Millions. The beginning of this offering on July 1 is the earliest-possible launch day that the legislation allows. Instant-win games will be similar to scratch cards, with new options to be added to the website on a regular basis.

The mobile app for the Virginia Lottery was created by its lottery partner International Game Technology (IGT). It was originally meant for use in retail stores that offered lottery sales, but is now being updated to allow for the new products. The app will not be completed in time for the July 1 launch, which means customers will have to rely on the website for the time being. There has been a large push for gambling expansion in Virginia in recent years, leading it to become the second state to legalize sports betting in 2020. The recently passed measure only allows online sportsbooks, with such offerings still waiting to launch following Governor Ralph Northam’s approval in April 2020. Legislation allowing the construction of five casinos in different cities in the state also got the go-ahead.
