Questions
Do you sell lottery tickets?
No. Loterij.online is an independent information site. Some links go to ticket sellers; those are clearly marked.
Can I play a foreign lottery from my country?
Sometimes. It depends on the operator. Some require residency or a local bank account. The country pages list the rules.
Are advertised jackpots after tax?
No. Jackpot figures are usually before tax. In the US the headline amount is often an annuity total, not the cash option.
What is the difference between an agent and a betting site?
An agent buys a real ticket for you. A betting site does not buy a ticket; it pays from its own funds. The risk and payout rules are different.
