Lottery Couriers

Lottery courier services offer a secure, hassle‑free way to play games like Powerball or Mega Millions. They purchase tickets on your behalf and provide proof of purchase via scanned copies.

How it Works

Licensed lottery courier services, such as Jackpot.com and theLotter, operate in various U.S. states and countries worldwide. They are independent of state lotteries and offer a safer, convenient experience for players. Here’s how the process typically works:

Place Your Order

You sign up on a courier’s website or app, pick your lottery game, choose your numbers, and submit your order. All from the ease of your device, wherever you are.

Ticket Purchase

An agent for the courier service takes your order to a licensed lottery retailer within the jurisdiction where that game is available, and buys a ticket on your behalf.

Scan and Keep Safe

An agent from the courier takes your order to a local, licensed lottery retailer in the jurisdiction where the lottery is offered, and buys the ticket for you.

Scan & Store Safely

After purchasing, the courier scans every ticket and uploads the scanned copy into your digital account. This gives you proof of ownership and confirms your ticket is valid.

Collect Prizes or Physical Ticket

For most winnings: the prize goes into your online account.

For larger sums (typically over about US$ 600) the courier may deliver the physical ticket to you or assist in arranging for you to claim the prize in person.

Buying Tickets with Couriers

The best courier services guarantee that you’ll see a scanned copy of your ticket in your account before the draw takes place.

Note: on draw‑days, some courier sites stop allowing orders earlier than the official retail cut‑off time. This gives agents enough time to get the tickets before the draw. This 'cut‑off before the draw' might be around three hours earlier, though it depends on the service.

If a courier can’t purchase your ticket in time (for example due to time constraints), your order is cancelled and your purchase is refunded. In some cases, there might even be compensation.

What About Couriers’ Fees and Pricing?

Courier services add a small extra fee to the regular ticket price. This covers the administrative tasks of purchasing, scanning, storing and managing the ticket.

While this means the cost is a bit more than what you’d spend at a retail outlet, you benefit from having digital proof, safety, and convenience.

Some lotteries that aren’t otherwise available in your country may be offered via courier service, so it can be cheaper than travelling to play in person.

Transparency & Prize Payments

What you see listed as the price per line on the site is what you pay — there are no hidden charges, and couriers do not take anything from your prize beyond what is publicly advertised.

You’ll always receive the full prize you’ve won.
