JERSEY CITY, NJ — October 13, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Lotto.com, the nation’s first online lottery platform to digitally deliver draw games and scratch tickets, is celebrating a $3.1 million New York Lotto jackpot win that has become one of the most significant prizes in company history.
The record-breaking ticket was a New York Lotto ticket ordered by a player who chose to stay anonymous. This prize marks the highest win in New York of 2026, highest overall Lotto.com win of 2026, the second-highest overall win in company history, and the second-highest draw game ticket win in Lotto.com history. The win also makes them the third millionaire winner in New York through Lotto.com and the 13th million-dollar winner in the platform’s history.
A Lotto.com customer since 2025, the winner discovered the platform by coincidence and quickly became a regular player, enjoying the free-to-play Mystery Scratch games. Long before becoming a millionaire, they had imagined what the big win moment might be like, even keeping a lottery wish list saved on their phone for the day a jackpot win could become reality.
As they worked through the claiming process, the winner praised the support received from the Lotto.com team, expressing gratitude for a customer experience representative whose accommodations helped make the experience personal and memorable. The winner also enjoyed visiting Lotto.com’s Players Café location on Bleecker Street in Manhattan as part of the celebration.
“As someone born and raised in New York City, big wins are always extra special for me when they happen here,” said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com. “As our largest win of 2026 to date and one of the biggest prizes in company history, we’re thrilled for this winner and proud that our team was able to support them throughout this exciting experience.”
