The Most Popular iGaming Websites You Need to Hear About — Part 2
Earlier, we discussed iGambling platforms mainly specializing in horse racing, but today we want to take a look at another popular industry branch — lotteries.
Why is it so important? The lotteries are viral and account for almost half of all the income generated in the gambling world. In many regions, the state seeks to monopolize most lotteries, ousting private investors.

Lotteries are the holy grail of the iGaming industry, and most have been operated by state monopolies for decades, if not centuries.
Today we will discuss the top 6 most popular platforms where one can play the lottery on the most favorable terms.

PCH

https://preview.redd.it/hspexyrrixz91.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=942b6c40d68b0db19b08278a2ec6c829cb039912
Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is a direct marketing company that sells magazine subscriptions and certain products, including kitchen appliances, via sweepstakes and raffles. Its casino-style games include slots, keno, trivia, scratch-offs, solitaire, and more.
It operates eight websites, including PCH Search and Win, PCH Lotto, PCH Games, PCH Save and Win, as well as Candystand.
The company offers daily low-stakes lotteries. You do not need to make any purchases to win, but the chances of winning are low, and participation results in frequent emails with new offers. Being able to enter a cash prize draw without investing money is rare, but the Publishers Clearing House offers just such an opportunity.
PCH offers some merchandise and magazine subscription offers with customer benefits, but buying products does not increase your chances of winning. The company is all about legality. As of June 2020, according to the stated rules, the odds of winning "$5,000 a week for life" in their Giveaway 16,000 are 1 in 6.2 billion.
PCH Lotto is one of Publisher Clearing House online gaming outlets. It is a free lottery website where players can participate in games and win cash prizes of up to $4 million.
It is not like other lottery websites as you will not find popular lotteries like Powerball or Mega Millions here and will be limited to the game offered by the company instead.
This online platform offers many free daily lotteries. They advertise a range of games called PCHlotto Twilight, Frostbite Funds, Reindeer Riches, and Seasons Winning. The screen at the top shows the current, constantly growing jackpot, like a clock counting down the seconds until the next big winner is determined.
Players must have enough PCH tokens to join. The good news is that these can be claimed for free, requiring only specific actions on the website, such as playing other games, participating in sweepstakes, watching winner videos, etc.
Only United States and Canada residents who are "physically located and residing in either country" can play here. However, players from Canada can participate in some games, especially lotteries, by mailing their entries. Players from other regions do not have access to this game.
Their lotto requires players to pick 8 numbers between 1 abd 54, plus a PowerPlay number. To win the major $4 million PowerPrize, you must match all 9 numbers, meaning that every individual player's chances of winning are rather meager, about 1 in 25 billion.
Luckily, other prize tiers offer more reasonable odds. In addition, free PCH tokens are awarded for participation in the PCH Lotto.
PCH has a unique way of rewarding players with bonus tokens in PCH Search & Win — a search engine that yields rewards for using it.
You will also find a PCH version of other popular games, such as keno and slots, scratch-offs, card games, word games, and more, with every game type offering rewards in the form of cash or free tokens.
PCH Lotto also has an official mobile app that allows you to play anytime, anywhere.

Hollywoodbets

https://preview.redd.it/8c54189tixz91.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fedcf26e51c88fb5e6c394a52a9adc1985d9cca
Hollywoodbets is the leading operator in South Africa, where the lotto is hugely popular. It offers betting on local and international horse racing, a wide range of sports betting from football, rugby, cricket, and golf to American sports, as well as countless international Lucky Numbers lotteries.

Aside from local lotteries, Hollywoodbets Lucky Numbers allows you to bet on the outcome of draws from around the world. With 1775 draws a week and many different betting options, it is easy to see why this website has become the most popular lucky number betting site in all of South Africa.
The difference between betting on Hollywood's best lucky numbers and buying a South African lottery ticket is that the odds for lucky numbers are fixed, meaning means that the payout is guaranteed no matter how many people get lucky at the same time.
The minimum bet for lucky numbers is $1, regardless of which lottery or betting market you choose. The maximum payout for a Lucky Numbers bet is $15 million.
There are hundreds of international lotteries available on Hollywoodbets, but the South African lottery remains one of the most popular, with several local draws taking place on different days of the week.
Hollywoodbets is the only bookmaker in South Africa to offer a no-deposit bonus. To claim a free bonus of R25 bet, one must sign up and await their account verification. Once the R25 have been credited, this sum can be used within the next 24 hours. Before withdrawing winnings, you must wager the bonus at least once with the odds of 1.50 (1/2) or higher.
The service currently offers the following deposit methods to recharge your account. Players who do not have access to a bank account can still play on Hollywoodbets, as there are several options for depositing with vouchers:
  • Vouchers (1 voucher and others);
  • Electronic payment;
  • Credit card payments;
  • Instant EFT (Ozow, Peach payments).
The platform is clearly interested in helping users of any wealth level place a bet and enjoy their time.

CAIXA is a bank founded on January 12, 1861, to raise the general reform level among the Brazilian population. One hundred years later, the establishment created Loterias.caixa.gov.br so that the people of Brazil could get rich and fulfill their dreams.
CAIXA holds a strong position on the market as a large, solid, and modern bank. As the primary agent of the state policy of the federal government, it spread throughout the country without losing sight of the original mission.
Its website grants access to the following games:
  • Millionary;
  • Mega Sena;
  • Lotofacile;
  • Kina;
  • Lotomania;
  • Timania;
  • Hollow Hay;
  • Federal;
  • Loteka;
  • Dia De Sorte;
  • Super Set.

MILLIONARY

+Milionária is a unique lottery that offers the bettor higher chances of winning a prize of R$10 million.
Every +Millionaire ticket is a brochure with two matrices: the Number Matrix and the Numbered Trevos Matrix. The Number Matrix has fifty non-universal numbers from 1 to 50. The Numbered Trevos Matrix contains six trevos from 1 to 6.

MEGA SENA

Mega Sena promises millions for the lucky winner who would guess the two exact lines of six numbers. You can also win prizes by matching 4 or 5 of the 60 numbers available on the betting flier.

Lotofacil

Lotofácil, as it is called, is easy to play and win. You tick 15-20 numbers from among the total of 25, and the prize will be awarded if you hit 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 numbers square on the head. You can let the system choose the numbers for you randomly through Surpresinha every time or participate with the same combination in 3, 6, 12, 18, or 24 consecutive competitions via Teimosinha.

KINA

Compete for epic prizes like Quina: select 5-15 numbers out of the available 80 without turning the steering wheel. If you prefer a more direct approach, you can select everything by hand via Surpresinha.

Lotomania

Lotomania is easy to play and easy to win: pick 50 numbers, then compete for prizes by matching 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, or any other amount of numbers. The game also allows you to dial on the fly, so you can still dial less than 50 numbers and let the system complete the row for you.

Taimania

Timemania is a lottery for football fans. When your heartbeat is racing, you should still bet with your head! Choose 10 numbers out of the available 80 and test your luck!

Hollow of the Seine

You only have two chances to win with a single ticket here: there are two draws per round, and you win by matching 3, 4, 5, or 6 numbers.

Federal

The Federal Lottery is intuitive and provides good winning odds. Choose a ticket listed at the lottery house or purchase one from an accredited lottery retailer, then select the number on your ticket you wish to compete for.

Loteka

Loteka is ideal for those who understand soccer and are invested in the process. Simply mark who will win each of the 14 tournament matches by setting one, two, or of the three columns for normal, double, or triple game respectively. Participating football clubs are printed on all issued tickets.

Dia de Sorte

Dia de Sorte is a number betting lottery. Choose between 7 an 15 numbers from among available 31. One of them must be higher than "Mês de Sorte."

Super Set

Super Set is a numerical prediction lottery whose tickers contain seven columns with ten numbers each (from 0 to 9), and the player must choose one number in every column.

Mega Seine

Mega Seine promises millions to the winner who will correctly guess just six numbers. You can also win prizes by matching 4 or 5 of the 60 numbers available on the betting flier.

Conclusion

Lotteries are considered by some to be a relic of the past, but they continue to attract people around the world, offering an opportunity to win big without making a significant financial investment.
As you can see, most big lotteries are monopolies owned by individual countries. On the one hand, this is good for stability and public trust, but on the other hand, it often prevents monopolist companies from modernizing.
The apparent reason for state-owned lottery games' success is that they can offer unrivalled prize pools that serve to attract huge crowds of casual players. If the jackpot were to be split among multiple lotteries, it would likely shrink, decreasing the lottery’s appeal in the eyes of the public, which would almost inevitably lead to a significant drop in ticket sales.
