Online Lottery Vs Offline Lottery: Which Is better?
Ever wondered why so much hype surrounds playing the lottery online versus strolling down to your local newsagency, waiting in line, and purchasing a paper ticket that has the potential of being lost?
Did we answer our own question?
Who else is guilty of misplacing necessary paperwork or sending it through the washing machine? This is one reason why playing the lottery online is superior to playing the lottery offline. If that’s not a good enough reason, here’s five more…
BIGGER JACKPOTS
When you play an online lottery with The Lottery office, you can play to win from draws of the biggest jackpots in the world.
Tickets bought for in-store jackpots in traditional Australian lotteries can’t compare with jackpots overseas. The biggest US jackpot win was in 2016, when a lucky few players took out a colossal AUD $2.3 billion in the US Powerball. Only a couple of years later, in October 2018, another big win went down in the history books, when one player collected a massive AUD $2.2 billion in the US Mega Millions Jackpot.
Both the US Powerball and the US Mega Millions have a minimum jackpot prize of AUD $50 million! Which is considerably higher than the standard Australian Lottery jackpot offered in-stores.
OH, THE CONVENIENCE!
When it comes to store-bought lottery tickets, you have no backup. What happens if your ticket gets lost, or as we mentioned above, goes through the washing machine? Maybe your toddler gets hold of it and mistakes it for a colouring-in competition. There are so many variables to consider! When it comes to playing the lottery online, it’s digital. Your ticket is safe. Your details are secure and it’s a hassle-free way of entering for your chance to win big!

SET IT AND FORGET IT
When purchasing lottery tickets in-store, you need to get to the shop and buy your ticket before the draw closes. Imagine this scenario: Your co-worker has mentioned a HUGE jackpot happening that night. Your workday finishes at 5 pm. You have until 5:30 pm to rush to your nearest newsagent to grab your ticket. Unfortunately, you get held up, it’s peak hour traffic, and you don’t make it. The game is over for you before it even starts.
When it comes to playing the lottery online, you can access the biggest jackpots in the world right from your smartphone with a few taps.
