Kentucky Lottery launches online draw ticket sales and instant win games

Kentucky’s state lottery has launched an online sales offering, bringing the number of US lotteries offering some form of online sales to four.

On Monday, the Kentucky Lottery’s website announced it was now offering online sales of both traditional draw tickets and instant win games. The state joins both Georgia and Michigan, which also offer draw tickets and instant win games, while Illinois currently offers only draw tickets online.

The launch of Play.kylottery.com, which is powered by International Game Technology, comes 18 months after the Kentucky Lottery Corp announced its intention to go online. The original launch target was Q3 2015 but encountered delays in ensuring the system was technologically secure, particularly in terms of geolocation services.

Players must have a verified Kentucky address and be physically present in the state to play online. Accounts can be funded online via credit or debit card or in person at the Lottery’s 3,200 retail points of sale. The Lottery has set online spending caps of $200/day, $500/week and $1k/month.
