Florida Lottery Shuts Down Unauthorized Online Courier Service

The Florida Lottery has taken decisive action against an unauthorized online ticket sales service known as The Lotter. This crackdown comes in response to concerns over illegal lottery services that operate without state authorization. The Lotter was offering residents the ability to purchase lottery tickets online, which is in direct violation of Florida’s lottery laws. In an official statement, Florida Lottery Secretary, John Davis, emphasized the importance of maintaining integrity and safety in the state’s lottery system, stating, “We will not allow unauthorized operators to undermine the trust our players have in the Florida Lottery.” The Florida Lottery encourages players to purchase tickets only from authorized retailers to ensure the legitimacy of their lottery games. This initiative aims to protect players from potential fraud and to reinforce the legal framework surrounding lottery operations in Florida. The closure of The Lotter highlights the ongoing efforts by the Florida Lottery to safeguard its operations against unlicensed vendors, providing peace of mind to those who participate in the state’s lottery games.
