If you often find yourself buying lottery tickets in Alberta, you might be pleased to hear that you can now do that without leaving your house.

Effective May 21, 2021, Albertans can now get their lottery tickets online. This includes Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, Daily Grand, Western Max, Western 6/49, and the Extra.

The new purchase option can be found on PlayAlberta's website. There are also games like slots, instants, and table games on the same platform. According to a news release, Play Alberta plans to add sports to the mix later this year.

You can access the platform if you're 18 years or older and physically located in the province of Alberta.

"AGLC continues to expand entertainment opportunities for Albertans through the introduction of lottery games on Play Alberta. Creating new digital purchasing options provides consumer convenience, while continuing to generate revenue that benefits Albertans," said Kandice Machado, CEO of Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis.
