Yes as the Pennsylvania Lottery’s own internet channel. The lottery row is live. Online eInstants and online draw games are in the profit report we store. That is not iGaming.

## Pennsylvania lottery

**Can I buy Pennsylvania Lottery tickets online?**

Yes, through the Pennsylvania Lottery’s own internet channel. The lottery row is live. Our licence file lists palottery.pa.gov. You must be physically in Pennsylvania. This is not PGCB iGaming.

**Is a courier the same thing?**

No. See Lottery courier vs iLottery. A courier is a separately regulated buyer, not the Lottery’s own app.

## Advice

**Is this page legal advice?**

No. It restates the Pennsylvania lottery row and the Lottery hostname in our licence file (checked Oct 13, 2026). Ask the Lottery or counsel for a purchase issue.
