Alabama · Online Lottery Guide
No — Alabama doesn't have a state lottery at all, so there are no Alabama lottery tickets to buy online or in person. There is no official iLottery site, no licensed courier, and no authorized retailer because the state doesn't operate a lottery. What does exist online are legal alternatives — sweepstakes-style and scratch-style sites that play similarly to the lottery but are not real lottery tickets. Below, we explain what each option actually is and how the legal rules work in Alabama.

Scratch-style online play
★★★★☆ 4.5Lottery Valley rating
Alabama has no state lottery, so there are no real lottery tickets to buy — online or in person. If you still want to play online from Alabama, Scratchee is the closest legal option as a scratch-style alternative, not a lottery ticket.
How they compare
Two of these aren’t real ticket-buying paths. Here’s what each one actually is.
Why this recommendation
Alabama doesn't run a state lottery, so there are no Alabama lottery tickets to sell — online, by app, by courier, or in person. There's no official site to buy from and no authorized retailer because the state simply doesn't operate one. What you'll find online instead are sweepstakes-style and scratch-style sites that play similarly but aren't real lottery tickets. Worth knowing before you sign up.
