The Connecticut Lottery Corporation (CT Lottery) has launched a new iLottery platform in partnership with International Game Technology (IGT).
The launch introduces a new experience for players in the Constitution State by allowing them to participate in a range of draw games through the CT Lottery website or via an iOS mobile app, with an Android app to follow next month.
Games available through the iLottery platform include KENO, Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, Lotto, Cash5, Play3 and Play4.
“iLottery gives Connecticut residents a convenient and secure way to play lottery games, whether choosing the every-four-minutes speed of KENO, the huge, life changing jackpots available through Powerball and Mega Millions, or the twice-a-day Play3 & Play4,” said CT Lottery president and CEO Greg Smith, who is stepping down next month and will be succeeded by Frank Suarez.
“In addition to our 2,800 retailer locations, iLottery allows you to pretty much play anytime and anywhere you are. Lottery scratch tickets are only available in retail so be sure to shop retail too.”
The app includes new features that allow players to personalize their lottery experience, such as saving favourite numbers and wagers, grouping preferred games for easy purchasing, and setting limits for wagering and time spent on the app.
The iLottery launch follows the signing of a long-term contract with primary lottery supplier IGT last June.
Connecticut becomes the 11th state in the United States to offer online lottery sales.
