Responding to residents who were locked out of buying lottery tickets in-person during the pandemic, West Virginia State Lottery Director John Myers said the state would be launching an iLottery platform by spring of 2023.
Myers told MetroNews that new state laws allow the West Virginia State Lottery to set up an online system for purchasing lottery tickets.
“In iLottery when you use your telephone to buy a ticket you have to have an account and that’s how you set up that account (by using a credit card) and it will also somebody to go into a retail location and use a credit card up to $200.”
