Several US states have started to offer online lottery ticket sales through their official state lottery website. Our online state lottery guide will break down what states currently offer online lottery options and what states are currently trying to pass legislation to allow online lottery sales.

The odds against winning the Powerball lottery are about one in about 292 million, and Mega Millions is even worse: one in about 303 million.   And yet someone will eventually manage to do it, and they'll have to pay taxes on their winnings. The federal government will want a piece of the prize, and the state taxing authority will likely have its hand out for a share as well. But just eight years later, Virginia became one of the first US states to offer the Mega Millions game, at the time it was called The Big Game. Today, the VA lottery offers 4 state-only games Cash 5, Pick 4, and Pick 3, among others. The Virginia Cash 5 features jackpots of $100,000 and you only need five winning numbers to claim the prize.

44 States already have a domestic lottery service, and since a portion of state revenue often comes from these lottery sales, lawmakers want to increase accessibility to anyone of legal age. Below is a list of the US states and what lottery options they currently offer.
