Some of the most popular lotteries in the United States have large jackpots and impressive payouts. However, the legality of online gambling is still a question mark.

Lotteries offer a wide variety of draw games. In addition to lottery, many states offer online scratch cards. Players can enter major multi-state drawings from home. There are a few state lotteries that are currently offering instant win games, too. You can also bet on specific numbers and choose a prize amount you prefer.
