CT Lottery Launches iLottery Platform (2024)

The CT Lottery has launched its iLottery platform. Players can participate in the fun of online lottery and their favorite draw games by visiting ctilottery.org or by downloading the CT Lottery mobile app on the iOS platform (Android app to follow next month). The app comes with exciting new features that allow players to personalize their lottery experience, such as saving favorite numbers and wagers, grouping preferred games for easy purchasing, and setting limits for wagering and time spent on the app. Along with these features, the CT Lottery mobile app will still include the ability to view winning numbers, scan lottery tickets purchased at retail to check if they have won, and much more.

With the new launch, Connecticut becomes the 11th state to offer online Lottery sales.

“iLottery gives Connecticut residents a convenient and secure way to play lottery games, whether choosing the every-four-minutes speed of KENO, the huge, life changing jackpots available through Powerball and Mega Millions, or the twice-a-day Play3 & Play4. In addition to our 2800 retailer locations, iLottery allows you to pretty much play anytime and anywhere you are. Lottery scratch tickets are only available in retail so be sure to shop retail too,” Greg Smith, President and CEO of the CT Lottery, said.

The games that will be available through iLottery are KENO, Powerball, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, Lotto, Cash5, and Play3 and Play4.

1/ST Racing will extend the automatic qualifier, entry and travel incentives for the inaugural running of the $1 million California Crown at Santa Anita Park to the connections of City of Troy, who served up an ultra-game win in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown last Saturday.

Through a partnership between 1/ST and the UK Jockey Club, with a win in the Coral-Eclipse, City of Troy automatically qualified for the $750,00 California Crown John Henry Turf on Sept. 28. However, City of Troy’s ownership ground, the international juggernaut Coolmore, and trainer Aidan O’Brien, are looking to make history with a win in the 1 ¼ mile Breeders’ Cup Classic on dirt this November. The $1 million California Crown is a “Win & You’re In” qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Classic at 1 1/8-miles on the main track.

“Aidan O’Brien has had incredible success at Santa Anita Park, with nearly half of his Breeders’ Cup wins coming here,” said Nate Newby, Santa Anita’s SVP & General Manager.

“City of Troy’s sire, Justify, loved this track and it would be fitting to see his best son run five weeks before the Breeders’ Cup Classic just down the road at Del Mar.”

This weekend’s July Cup at Newmarket will also serve as an automatic qualifier with complimentary entry and travel incentives for the California Crown Eddie D. Turf Sprint. The partnership with UK Jockey Club is one of several reciprocal qualifying agreements in place between 1/ST Racing and prestigious racing organizations throughout the world.
