Lottery.com Review 2026: AutoLotto Today

Lottery.com began as AutoLotto, a mobile focused lottery service that later adopted one of the most recognizable domains in the industry. The brand still exists, but the service has changed substantially. Lottery.com is now owned by Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation, or SEGG Media, and in July 2026 the company announced that Lottery.com would move exclusively to an affiliate model rather than operate as a conventional direct lottery courier.

From AutoLotto to Lottery.com

AutoLotto was formed in 2015 and built a platform designed to let users order lottery entries remotely through a phone or computer. The company later acquired and adopted the Lottery.com domain and brand.

In 2021, AutoLotto combined with the publicly traded special purpose acquisition company Trident Acquisitions Corp. After the transaction closed on October 29, 2021, the public company took the name Lottery.com Inc. and AutoLotto became its operating business.

Company filings state that on July 29, 2022 it ceased substantially all U.S. operations because of liquidity constraints, furloughed most U.S. employees and suspended U.S. lottery game sales. Limited activity later resumed to support affiliate partners through a Texas retail network.

The parent company broadened its focus into sports, entertainment and gaming during 2025 and 2026. Its legal name changed from Lottery.com Inc. to Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation on January 27, 2026. Lottery.com remains one of SEGG Media's brands.

How Lottery.com works

The old AutoLotto and Lottery.com model was a courier style service. In supported locations, users could select lottery games online, pay through the platform, and have the service arrange the purchase and handling of authorized lottery entries. Company filings from that period describe in state games and multi-state draws, digital ticket management, results information and automatic redemption of smaller prizes where local rules allowed it.

That is not the current U.S. model.

In July 2026, SEGG Media announced that Lottery.com would transition exclusively to an affiliate strategy. Two days later it named International Gaming Alliance as the first partner and said the Lottery.com website would relaunch as an information and affiliate hub across Latin America and Canada, consistent with the move away from directly operating gaming.

Before the 2022 suspension, the company reported B2C availability in California, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and the District of Columbia. Those locations are not a current availability list.

The company's 2025 annual report says its direct B2C lottery offering operates through mobile and web applications in Mexico. The Lottery.com brand itself is now being positioned as the affiliate layer for partner operators.

Games and ticket prices

Under the earlier U.S. service, Lottery.com supported state lottery games and multi-state games such as Powerball and Mega Millions where its service was enabled.

The current affiliate model changes the pricing question. Lottery.com is no longer presenting one direct U.S. checkout with a single company wide fee schedule. Ticket prices, service charges, promotions and available games depend on the partner operator to which a user is referred.

A price or fee quoted for the former AutoLotto service should therefore not be assumed to apply today.

Payments and withdrawals

The former direct service accepted customer payments through its platform and managed account balances and eligible prize redemptions.

Under the affiliate model, the payment relationship sits with the partner operator rather than Lottery.com itself. Users should review payment methods, deposit rules, withdrawal limits, identity checks and fees on the destination operator before placing an order.

For direct B2C activity in Mexico, payment and withdrawal rules belong to that local service rather than a general U.S. Lottery.com offering.

Winnings and prize claims

During its earlier U.S. operation, Lottery.com described a system in which users could track entries digitally and, where permitted, have smaller prizes redeemed automatically. A 2021 filing said the platform could automatically redeem a winning lottery game of less than $600 where applicable law allowed it.

With Lottery.com moving to an information and affiliate role, prize claims depend on the operator or lottery that actually processes the ticket or account. Players should check that operator's rules for small prizes, large prizes, identity requirements, tax withholding and any need to claim directly from a state or national lottery.

App and customer support

AutoLotto was built around mobile lottery ordering, and company filings described Lottery.com apps for iOS and Android alongside web access.

That app history can be misleading in 2026. Lottery.com is no longer positioning its U.S. business as the same direct mobile courier platform. For support with an affiliate referred purchase, the first point of contact should generally be the operator that took the payment or processed the ticket.

Is Lottery.com safe and legitimate?

Lottery.com is a real brand owned by a Nasdaq listed public company that files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. AutoLotto became part of the public company in 2021, and the parent now trades as SEGG Media.

That corporate status is not a guarantee about any individual gambling transaction. The practical question is which partner provides the lottery product, where that operator is authorized to offer it, what fees apply and how prizes are claimed.

The company also went through a major disruption in 2022, when filings say it suspended substantially all U.S. operations because of liquidity constraints. The current affiliate strategy is a different business model, so older descriptions of Lottery.com as a direct ticket courier no longer describe the service accurately.

Pros and cons

Pros

Recognizable lottery focused domain and brand.
Ownership by a publicly traded company with SEC reporting.
Current strategy is clear about using partner operators.
Potential to connect users with authorized lottery services as the affiliate network expands.

Cons

It is no longer a straightforward direct U.S. ticket ordering service.
Old AutoLotto and Lottery.com app information can be mistaken for current functionality.
Prices, fees, payment methods and prize procedures depend on the partner operator.
The affiliate rollout is still developing, so usefulness varies by market.

Verdict

Lottery.com is best understood today as a lottery information and affiliate brand owned by SEGG Media, not as the same direct courier service that AutoLotto built.

For someone looking specifically to order a U.S. Powerball or Mega Millions ticket through Lottery.com itself, the current setup does not offer that old direct courier experience. In markets where Lottery.com has an affiliate partner, the site may be useful as a route to an operator, but the actual transaction should be judged on that operator's terms.

Check the destination operator, jurisdiction rules, ticket price, added fees, payment method and prize claim process before spending money.

FAQ

Is Lottery.com the same company as AutoLotto?

AutoLotto developed the Lottery.com service. In 2021 it combined with Trident Acquisitions Corp., and the public company became Lottery.com Inc. The parent company is now Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation.

Can I still buy U.S. lottery tickets directly from Lottery.com?

Lottery.com is now being positioned as an affiliate and information platform rather than a direct U.S. courier. Older lists of supported states refer to the former service.

What happened to the Lottery.com app?

The app was part of the former direct B2C platform. It should not be relied on as evidence that Lottery.com currently offers direct U.S. ticket ordering.

Who pays winnings now?

For affiliate traffic, prize handling is governed by the operator or lottery that actually processes the ticket or account.

Lottery play involves the risk of losing the full ticket price. Only play if you meet the legal age and eligibility rules where you live, set a spending limit, and do not chase losses.
