A number of states have enacted laws to legalize online lotteries. Some of these states include Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. The state of Pennsylvania has also passed laws to authorize online gaming. These laws allow gambling companies to offer virtual sports, online poker, and online casinos. However, the Pennsylvania lottery does not sell Powerball or MegaMillions online.
Some states have also introduced Daily Lotteries. These games allow players to select five numbers for a chance to win. The jackpots are smaller, but still very significant. Generally, you have a better chance of winning if you buy more tickets.
