TheLotter US has expanded its trusted lottery courier service to Arizona, following successful launches in New Jersey and New York just last year. With this latest addition, TheLotter US now operates in five states, including Oregon, and Minnesota.

Yael Hertz, CEO of TheLotter Group, said: “We’re thrilled to expand our service to yet another state. Now, Arizona residents can enjoy the convenience of entering their favorite lottery draws without having to go out and buy a ticket.”

TheLotter US fulfills lottery ticket orders on customers’ behalf at licensed retailers, scans them, and uploads them to their personal accounts before the draw. From there, they can view their ticket and track their numbers with ease.

With years of experience in the industry, TheLotter US is making lottery play more convenient than ever. Their dedicated 24/7 customer support ensures players always receive prompt and reliable assistance whenever they need it.

Over time, TheLotter US has built a loyal customer base by consistently proving itself as a trusted and reliable service.

Creating an account takes just minutes. After verifying their info, users can choose their favorite lottery game, pick their lucky numbers or use Quick Pick, select the number of lines to be added, and confirm their order. TheLotter US will take it from there.

With years of experience and a solid reputation, TheLotter US uses top-tier security measures like GeoTrust 128-bit SSL encryption to protect all transactions. Plus, ticket scans will be viewable in customers’ accounts before the draw for total transparency, and their 24/7 customer support is always there to assist with any and all queries.

Arizona has seen some incredible jackpot wins, including a $108 million Mega Millions prize in Lake Havasu City just four years ago. More recently, in January 2025, a lucky player in Tempe became the sole winner of a $112 million jackpot.

This win has special significance, as the winner purchased their ticket through an online lottery courier service. This incredible win highlights how ticket courier services make it easier than ever for players to enter their favorite draws—and seize life-changing opportunities.

Now that TheLotter US is live in Arizona, Arizona residents have the same opportunity to play for the biggest prizes and create their own “jackpot moment”.

With this latest offering, Arizonians can now purchase and play their favorite lottery games from anywhere.

Lottery players in Arizona can now instantly buy tickets for their favorite nationwide games such as Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as the popular local game, The Pick draw.   The innovative platform purchases tickets on behalf of its customers from an official state lottery retailer, displaying a scan of their ticket and transferring winnings under $600 in real-time to their account. For prizes greater than $600, Jackpot.com securely delivers the ticket to the winning player to collect their winnings from the Arizona Lottery.

Arizona residents will also have access to Scratchers – the digital scratch ticket offering focused on expediting the convenience and the processing times of scratcher games. Jackpot.com has launched with four of the most popular scratchers in Arizona, including Lady Luck, $230 Million Cash Explosion, Instant Millions, 500x Fortune and more. Customers simply have to “scratch” their device screen with their finger or mouse to reveal their scanned ticket and potential winnings.

Every year, the Arizona Lottery gives back hundreds of millions of dollars from ticket sales to a variety of programs and organizations striving to make an impact in higher education, health and human services, environmental conservation, and economic and business development. This fiscal year, the Arizona Lottery achieved $1.52 billion in sales, a historic milestone since the state lottery’s inception in 1981, and contributed $314.89 million to its primary beneficiaries with approximately $217,000 also going to the State of Arizona’s General Fund.
