While it has been possible to buy lottery tickets online for some time now, Bitcoin users have been left out in the cold.
Until now.
LottoPark is one of the first online lottery ticket sales outlets to allow customers to pay for their lottery tickets with Bitcoin. Customers can also choose to have their winnings paid out in Bitcoin as well.
How Does LottoPark Work?
Buying lottery tickets at LottoPark.com is quick and easy. After a short signup process, you are ready to start buying your lottery tickets with Bitcoin.
1. Choose which lottery you want to play
From the Play Lottery tab in the main menu, click the Buy Tickets button for the lottery you want to play.
Note: Make sure to purchase your lottery tickets at least one hour before the draw.
2. Pick your lucky numbers
Just like buying lottery tickets in the store, you have two options for picking your numbers. You can either pick the numbers yourself or you can Quick Pick, which is an automated tool that selects the numbers for you at random. You can choose to use the Quick Pick tool on all of your lines or just on selected lines.
Unlike in-store lottery tickets, at LottoPark you can choose to add additional lines to your ticket to increase your chances of winning.
3. Add more lottery tickets or checkout and proceed to payment section
If you want to purchase additional lottery tickets you can click on the Add More Tickets button, otherwise, select the payment method you want to use. To choose Bitcoin as your payment method, click the ‘Pay Using Other Payment Methods’ option and then select Bitcoin. Finally, click the Pay button.
4. Send your bitcoin payment
After clicking the Pay button, you will be taken to a Bitcoin payment page that shows you exactly how much bitcoin to send to the automated BTC address provided. You can pay directly from your Bitcoin wallet or from your Cubits wallet.
That’s really all there is to it. Once your payment is received, you will be able to view your lottery tickets in your My Tickets dashboard.
