Facts about Lottery Raffles

Due to the success of online lottery play, lottery raffles have quickly spread to players across the world. They have become the go-to choice for many, especially at Christmas time.

They are all raffle games at heart, but with interesting twists that make them each unique in their way.

When you play a lottery raffle, typically the numbers are selected for you, usually in the form of pre-printed code.
