We are better off investing the money in the stock market with zero commission. New York Lottery has fallen behind, when it comes to technology. Online play is the future.

Jackpocket is very convenient to use, it isn't free though .You would have paid zero fees, if New York lottery had offer online play. Think about it, you are already losing .50 cents for every dollar you bet on lottery games. It is better to play the lottery less often or not play all.

I doubt California will ever offer online sales. Although illegal, those that really want to do so with online casinos.

The only fee that is charged is when making a deposit into your player account.

When I deposit $50, they charge $4.79.

There is no fee added to the bet or subtracted from any winnings.

Minimum bet is $1.00, so you can't bet 50 cents on numbers or Pick 4.

Curious too how long the W2G would take to arrive. You'll win before I did since not playing on-line for a spell.

When I cashed in $5K the tax form came the very next day

Just watched their Youtube ad. Nice idea but still too bad the individual state does not offer what the consumer wants.

How much is the fee they charge

I live in NY and play through the JACKPOCKET app on my phone.

You can play any game except TAKE5.

When you win, they add the winnings to your account balance.

They will probably offer pick 3/4 as well.

Give consumers what they want and they will respond hand$omely.

Come on Massachusetts, get on the bandwagon

Had a $500 win and it was deposited into my checking account the next day. Still trying to get an Online win over $600 for the obvious reason but also to see the W-2G and payment process.

Fast Play is the only KY Lottery drawn game with no Online play but it's an RNG instant type game. We can play all the number and jackpot games on our PCs, laptops, IPads, tablets, and phones.
