Before you decide to hand over your credit card number to purchase online lotto tickets from just any website, here are a few things you should to learn that will help you stay safe while playing the lotto online:

Only purchase lotto tickets from websites you trust. If you are not knowledgeable about a particular lotto website, do your research to make certain it is legitimate.

Additionally, there are several online forums where online gambling (Suggested Internet page) lotto participants can talk to one another and report issues or problems with certain lottery websites. Due diligence will go a very long way to guarantee you are not ripped off by a shady, disreputable website.

After logging in and purchasing online lotto tickets, make sure you log out of your account, especially if you are using a public computer.

Make sure you abide by all rules and regulations of the website. On many lotto sites, participants must be at least 18 years old to purchase tickets.
