Best lottery apps and courier services

A courier app buys a real state-lottery ticket for you. The ranking below weighs fee transparency, state licensing, deposit limits and track record, not jackpot size. Check your state first: couriers are banned in some states.

Sorted by overall score · how we score

  1. 1
    Lottery app

    Lotto.com

    The most transparent courier on fees (25% on draw tickets, published), licensed in NJ and NY, but that fee is the heaviest premium of the apps reviewed.

    Best for: Players who want a licensed courier with fees stated up front and are fine paying the premium.

    6.0
  2. 2
    Lottery app

    Jackpocket

    The biggest courier app by reach, but you pay a location-based premium (about 12% in Colorado) and fees only show at checkout; the Texas ban and probe dent its record.

    Best for: Players in covered states who want to buy official tickets from their phone and accept a small premium.

    5.2
  3. 3
    Lottery app

    Jackpot.com

    A smaller seven-state courier with commission-free prizes, but its fees are not published and its Texas listing was overtaken by the 2025 ban.

    Best for: Players in its seven states who want an alternative app and will check fees at checkout.

    4.8
  4. 4
    Lottery app

    theLotter

    An international courier with a Malta licence, not a US-licensed one: fees are baked into prices and Powerball warns lotteries may refuse prizes on such tickets.

    Best for: Players outside the US who want access to many lotteries; US residents have licensed courier options.
