Mido Lotto wants to turn jackpot dreams into a reality for Arizonians

Every resident can claim a free Powerball ticket as part of the Lottery app's Grand Canyon State debut.

Mido Lotto, an app that lets people safely and conveniently order Powerball and Mega Millions tickets online, is celebrating its Arizona launch by giving all eligible state residents a free Lottery ticket.

The top-rated app (by startup Lottery Now) first debuted in California in 2020, and has since rapidly expanded to six states and awarded millions in prizes.

Arizonians can claim their free Lottery ticket by visiting: MidoLotto.com/dream-big/, and downloading the app before January 31.

"We're excited to announce our entry into Arizona and bring residents an easy and legitimate way to play the state Lottery while making sure they never miss a draw, misplace a ticket or forget to claim winnings again," says Rich Wheeler, president of Lottery Now. "We're also thrilled to support Arizona's tremendous giveback initiatives. Our app attracts mobile customers who typically don't play the Lottery the way it's currently offered, which means increased good-cause contributions that go to worthy causes such as higher education, health and human services and environmental conservation."

Similar to DoorDash (except its courier service is fully digital for consumers), Mido Lotto works as an intermediary that allows customers to order official state Lottery draw-game tickets from their smartphone. Tickets for every order placed are purchased from officially licensed Arizona Lottery retailers in compliance with state law.

Players can use the app to send tickets as gifts, play with friends and instantly claim winnings up to $600. For larger prize amounts, physical tickets are securely delivered to the player so they can collect their winnings at a claim center in accordance with Arizona state Lottery regulations.

The app is available in both the Apple iTunes Store, where it is the highest rated transactional Lottery app with over 17,000 five-star reviews, and in the Samsung Galaxy Store.

The leadership team behind Mido Lotto is a who's who of Lottery, tech and gaming veterans who have designed games and technology for leading entertainment companies including Twitter, Disney, Sony PS3, Pandora, Citibank and Zynga.

Mido Lotto follows strict compliance protocols in accordance with all federal and state regulations including age verification and geofencing, as well as responsible gaming measures which include strictly enforced daily, weekly and monthly order limits.
