The Massachusetts Lottery is our Lottery Rising Star of the Year after making its digital debut in July with the launch of Mass Lottery Online, marking an exciting new chapter for this established lottery. Powered by Aristocrat Interactive’s platform, the new online service demonstrates how the Massachusetts Lottery is prepared to evolve to meet the needs of its players.

Players are able to buy tickets for popular lottery draw games such as Mass Cash, Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as an expanding range of eInstant games. The Massachusetts Lottery’s digital evolution modernises its gameplay and enables the lottery to compete with online sports betting in the state. The Massachusetts Lottery is already recognised as a world-leading lottery. The launch of iLottery will only enhance that reputation in the years to come, and grow the funds it raises for social programmes and childcare in The Bay State.
