  I believe smaller wins are just credited back to you, and for any win of a prize requiring a trip to lottery headquarters, you would be handed the winning ticket by a representative and you'd claim the prize yourself in person.  So it would be much easier than in-person purchases because you'd never need to visit the store for small wins.

  I don't see this on the FL lottery website. I think it's just another online company.

  I am so jealous! I wish Tennessee Lottery would go on-line. If they allow Sports Betting why not Online lottery. 

  MAY GOD BLESS US ALL ABUNDANTLY!

  It is indeed a separate company from the Florida Lottery, but completely licensed and legit (and legal).  It is a good company that Lottery Post has vetted.  Licensing lottery ticket couriers is a direction that several states have gone, rather than implementing direct online sales themselves.  That preserves the physical retailers, while also offering players an online option.

  I just checked Ohio results. You can buy online for some Ohio games. I created an account and selected one rolling cash five ticket. I get to the check out cart. They wanted a 20% service fee on my deposit. It doesn't matter the amount. 20% on all amounts. They've lost their minds. Gas station is only a mile down the road. That will work for me. What are the fees for Florida? Hopefully lower than Ohio.

  Thanks for the info Todd.

  I will be contacting the SC Lottery to see if they can do the same.

  A lot of people do not get out to where lottery is sold on a regular basis.

  Numbers are where you find them.

  Similar to the KY Lottery Online lottery. Winnings are credited to our account and withdrawn into out bank account. The most I've won playing Online is $500 so I'm not sure of the process for winning over $600; probably like you discribed.
