Online lotteries are slowly becoming more and more popular in India. Many lotto players have realized that not only are lotteries on the internet more convenient but also have bigger prizes that are paid out instantly and are safer.
Therefore we decided to tell you about the 5 best online available right now for Indians.
Powerball
You have maybe have heard of this lottery before and it is easy to understand why. It is commonly known as the worlds most famous lottery.
Since this is an international lottery it is legal to play from whatever state you are in India. This differs from government lotteries that you can only play from states where the lottery is legal.
It is famous for having the worlds biggest jackpot of any game available. On the 13th of January in 2016, three ticket holders shared a jackpot of $1.586 billion!
That is more than Rs 11337 crores! An astronomical amount of money.
So what’s the Powerball ticket price?
It depends on where you buy your tickets. Since the Powerball lottery only sells paper tickets you need to use a service that is called a lottery agent.
Depending on which lottery agent you use the fee will be different. In the USA a ticket costs $2. At an Indian online lottery agent, you will have to pay between $2.20 to $4.
PlayWin
PlayWin is the only Indian government lottery that is available online. With daily draws and reasonable ticket prices, it has become the number one destination for players in states where lottery is legal.
You can enjoy the many Dear lotteries with various prize sizes varying from a few rupees up to 2 crores!
Sadly though this lottery has run into some legal issues and it is now available at the moment. It is said to be temporary so keep your eyes out and get ready to enjoy this great online lotto.
SuperEnaLotto
SuperEnaLotto, the greatest thing to come out of Italy since pizza. It is the biggest lotto game available in Italy and thanks to online lottery agents you can enjoy it from India as well.
An exciting game packed with fun features such as jolly number and superstar number that give you even more chances to win.
It is a rollover lottery meaning that you can win enormous jackpots since the prize money “rolls over” to the next draw if no one wins.
In August of 2019, one single player won the SuperEnaLotto jackpot of a total of Rs. 1668 crore!
The only downside with this lottery is that you will have tax twice. First 12% tax to the Italian government and then another 30% to the Indian government.
EuroJackpot
The biggest lottery in Europe that is available for Indian players is called Eurojackpot.
This lotto game is also a rollover lottery but it also has a jackpot size limit which is great!
But why is it great?
It’s simple really, with a jackpot limit the remaining money that was supposed to roll over to the jackpot is given to the lower prize tiers. This means you can get several crores even when you win the fourth or fifth prize.
The limit is set to €90 million so it so nowhere near a small jackpot still! You wouldn’t call more than Rs. 695 crore a small amount of money.
Thanks to lottery agents it’s just as easy to play EuroJackpot as it is the other lottery games that have been mentioned.
El Gordo
Last but not least comes El Gordo. Emphasize the not part because this lottery game has the world’s lottery pot.
The jackpot is set to €4 million but the total amount of money given out is more than €2.4 billion.
It only has one draw a year though so be ready for December this year since it takes place on the 22nd.
You could be one of the extremely many winners that win a part of the more than Rs. 19000 crores given out yearly.
Last year even a reporter who was covering El Gordo won!
