Additionally, the company has saved over 5 million paper play slips since its debut in 2022.
Lotto.com is an online store where customers can buy draw-based and scratch lottery tickets on any device without having to download an app or make a deposit.
It also helps raise money for causes including state-sponsored charities, education and causes by bringing in customers.
Thomas Metzger, Lotto.com Inc CEO, said: “By creating innovative tech-focused solutions and implementing these eco-friendly practices, Lotto.com is taking a pivotal step towards creating a greener future.
“As a company seeking to develop services and platforms that benefit the communities we serve, Lotto.com is committed to continuing to prioritise and explore technology solutions that address our dedication to environmental sustainability.”
