If you’re planning to invest some money in lottery activities you may try an online lottery provider. This might prove a wise strategy for several reasons. But it may be even wiser to do some online checking for starters, only to play it safe.

What a tragedy it might be if you forgot to do your preliminary checking as well as your numbers roll out of the draw! Other than the very fact that some might not survive this sort of event, you’d probably be kicking yourself silly for the rest of your life and well you should, especially since it will be able to be prevented.

If you play with a scammer site and your numbers are drawn, forget any payout. Take a big box of tissues and cry it out. Just how to check regardless of if the site is legit? Asking some common sense questions go a ways.

Were you referred by someone you know and who played through this site yet? Do you have proof positive that this person is trustworthy?

How long has the site been online?

What does the WHOIS site tell about the site?

Are there any negative reviews about the site?

This is easy to check: go to Google search (or your favorite search engine for that matter) and type the name of the lottery site you want to check and add this: +review to your query string. The results will probably be numerous. If too many negative reviews come out, or no results at all, go for another online lottery company.

Playing Online has also some advantages:

You don’t need to go out with cash

No travelling to and fro

You can play in groups

If you refer other players you may wind up playing for nothing

If you find many customers who play quite often, you can earn income

You may create a common pot with several players and play higher amounts or bigger combinations.

On top of that, if you want to improve your chances, do not play birthdays, everybody does that and over here if these numbers come out, there are a lot of winners that the pot is diluted beyond gains that make it worthwhile.
