Comfort of Your Home Method

This option is for players that want to have a traditional online gaming experience. The desktop is for stationary play, usually in the home for the player.
You will begin by logging into your account, and you will see the “Buy Now” feature on whichever game you would like to purchase. You can also check out the Games Lobby or take a look at the drawing results on the homepage and click on “Buy Now” if you see a game you would like to play.
You will see a few options to make a decision on. For example, you will see options like an Easy Pick value for “USE FAVORITE PURCHASE” or “PICK MY NUMBERS.”
Simply select your numbers. If you used an Easy Pick option or your automatic favorite purchase, then you can skip this step. You have the option to manually enter your numbers too. Once you are ready, click on “ADD TO CART” to continue the purchase.
If you want to include any add-ons, you can do that here. You can also include how many drawings you would like to enter.
Then click on “CONTINUE” to move on with the purchase. You might notice a price change in the update if you have any add-ons or the number of draws you have selected.
Finally, you should review your purchase and click on “CHECKOUT” to complete the purchase. You could also click on the checkbox to “Save as Favorite Purchase” for future purchases.
Once you have clicked checkout, you will see a confirmation message with the Successful Payment. You can review the transaction on your purchase history in your account.
You will also receive a confirmation email after your purchase. Make sure your account information is up to date in free to receive these emails.
