Can you play the Vermont Lottery online?

No, you cannot buy Vermont lottery tickets online. Vermont has no state-run iLottery site, no licensed courier operating in-state, and no verified real-ticket online alternative — which means in-person retail is currently the only path to a real Vermont lottery ticket. Below, we explain what is and isn't available online and how the legal rules work in Vermont.

Vermont Online Play: Common Questions

Answers about official online sales, courier ordering, and legality in Vermont.

Can you buy Vermont lottery tickets online?

No, you cannot buy Vermont lottery tickets online. Vermont does not operate an official online lottery and no licensed courier service currently delivers real Vermont lottery tickets to residents. To buy an official Vermont lottery ticket today, you still need to visit an authorized retailer in person.

Why doesn't Vermont sell lottery tickets online?

Vermont has not authorized online lottery sales at the state level, and no courier service is currently licensed to operate in-state. Online lottery laws vary state-by-state, and Vermont has kept ticket sales at retail only. This can change if state legislation or licensing updates in the future.

Can you play Powerball or Mega Millions online in Vermont?

No, you cannot play Powerball or Mega Millions online in Vermont. Both games are sold only through authorized retailers in-state because there's no iLottery platform and no licensed courier operating locally. If you want a real Powerball or Mega Millions ticket, you need to buy it in person at a Vermont retailer.

How can someone from Vermont play the lottery online?

Vermont residents who want to play a real state lottery online must be physically located in a state that allows online lottery sales — like Pennsylvania, Michigan, or New Jersey — at the time of purchase. From inside Vermont, retail is currently the only way to buy an official lottery ticket.

Could online lottery availability change in Vermont?

Yes, online lottery availability in Vermont could change in the future. Lottery laws, state-run online sales, and courier licensing can all be updated through state legislation. What's true today may not be true a year from now, which is why it's worth checking current state rules before you try to play online.

How old do you have to be to play the Vermont Lottery?

You must be at least 18+ to play the Vermont Lottery. This minimum age is set by state law and is enforced at every authorized retailer. Age rules apply to all lottery purchases in Vermont, including any future online sales channels if the state expands access.

Responsible play

Play responsibly in United States

Lottery draws are chance-based. Predictions, generators, and strategy content do not guarantee winnings — and age or access rules depend on local law and the official operator.
