How to Play through a Lottery Messenger Service

It’s really easy to play through lottery messenger services such as Jackpot.com and theLotter. In fact, the main goal of these companies is to make the playing experience as simple and convenient as possible.

Here are the steps you need to take when using a lottery courier:

• Sign up online with the lottery courier firm. It is a quick process where you just have to provide a few details, which will all be kept secure and private.
• Pick which lottery you want to play. Messenger services offer a wide range of games to players in different locations. You might even be able to play an international lottery that is not usually available where you live.
• Choose your numbers and make your selections as if you were filling in an online play form. It might be that you want to play a Quick Pick, enter multiple draws, or add any optional extras (for example Power Play or Megaplier) that the game might offer.
• Confirm your order and complete the purchase. You’ll need to make sure that you have sufficient funds in your online account to pay for your entries.

Once you have paid for your entries, you can sit back and relax until the draw takes place. The lottery courier then takes over and does the hard work for you.

An agent in the country or jurisdiction in which the lottery is held will buy the tickets, scan them and upload the images to your player account. If you win a prize, you will be notified automatically, and the majority will be paid directly into your account.

If you win a larger amount, your ticket will either be delivered to you so or the courier will make other arrangements so that you are able to claim in person. Winnings are always paid in full with no commission owed to the courier service.

If you choose to play with a lottery betting company, they do not actually buy your ticket, but instead insure themselves against your numbers coming up in the draw of your choice. Your numbers will be stored in your online account, but there will be no scanned ticket to go with them.

The way you play games such as Powerball and Mega Millions can differ slightly from state to state. Go to the page on Playing Online in the USA to find out more about ow it works in different jurisdictions.

Playing in a Lottery Pool

Here is how you can use lottery concierge services to play in a group, or syndicate.

• Choose the lottery you wish to play and search the types of syndicates on offer for that game. It might be that the syndicate has a particular number of lines, or guarantees you’ll match at least one number. The lottery messenger service will clearly label the different options available.
• Choose how many shares you would like in that syndicate. The more you buy, the greater your portion of any winnings will be.
• After you pay for your order, the scans of the tickets to be played as part of the syndicate will usually be displayed in your account. Sites using the insurance model may just create an entry in your online account that displays the numbers you will be playing in the draw.

If you look at several different services, you can sometimes find special deals, discounts on bulk buying tickets and many other treats to persuade you to play at a certain site. Those sites using the insurance model can even offer the chance to win double the value of a lottery's jackpot for an additional fee, as this method of playing means that you are betting on the outcome of a draw, rather than playing the game with an official ticket.
