Lottery-ticket app Mido Lotto expands into Montana
Mido Lotto, which enables people to safely and conveniently order Powerball and Mega Millions tickets on their smartphone, is celebrating its Montana launch by giving all eligible residents a free Lottery ticket. Ennis, Montana, resident Kevin Kramer founded the company.
Mido Lotto, the highest-rated transactional Lottery app in the Apple iTunes Store with over twenty-five thousand five-star reviews, made its debut in California in 2020. Since then, it has rapidly expanded to eight states, including nearby neighbor Oregon. To date, its users have won over $3 million.
Montanans can claim their free Lottery ticket by downloading the Mido Lotto app and entering promo code: TREASURE before September 30.
âWeâre thrilled to offer Montanans a safe, convenient and legitimate way to play Lottery draw games like Powerball and Mega Millions,â says Kramer, CEO of Lottery Now, the company behind Mido Lotto. âSince 1987, the Montana Lottery has funded important state programs, and weâre excited to support these impactful giveback initiatives through incremental ticket sales. Mido Lotto attracts mobile customers who typically donât play the Lottery the way itâs currently offered, which means more contributions going to worthy causes such as public education, safety and health programs.â
As part of its launch, Mido Lotto is identifying local causes and organizations throughout Montana that it can support. For instance, in Ennis, the app is partnering with both the chamber of commerce and the school district to identify the best giveback opportunities.
âAs the only Montana-based company offering Lottery courier services, weâre highly invested in supporting local communities across the state,â says Kramer.
Adrienne Goldsworthy, executive director of the Ennis Chamber of Commerce shared that her team is, âworking hand-in-hand with Mido Lottoâs Montana-based leadership on a roadmap to make a measurable impact for both local businesses and schools in our community.â
Similar to DoorDash or Instacart, Mido Lotto works as an intermediary allowing customers to order official state Lottery draw-game tickets from their smartphone.
Tickets for every order placed are fulfilled from a Mido Lotto-owned Montana-licensed retailer in compliance with state law.
âPlayers no longer have to worry about missing a draw, misplacing a ticket or forgetting to claim winnings again,â says Rich Wheeler, president of Lottery Now. âNow busy Montanans can enjoy the time-saving convenience of ordering tickets from anywhere in the state – and not miss being a part of the excitement the Lottery brings. Weâre looking forward to some big winners in Montana.â
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 Montana state Lottery regulations.
The leadership team behind Mido Lotto is a whoâs who of Lottery, tech and gaming veterans who have designed games and technology for leading entertainment companies including Twitter, Disney, Sony PS3, Pandora and more.
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.

Tennessee Sports Wagering Council Takes Action Against Illegal Sportsbook
The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council through its executive director issued $50,000 in fines to Bovada.lv, an unlicensed and therefore illegal sportsbook operating in Tennessee.
Bovada failed to comply with cease and desist letters delivered to addresses in Curaçao, and Council investigators placed wagers through Bovadaâs platform on three separate occasions, including as recently as October 16, 2024.
The Sports Gaming Act authorizes the Council to impose a $10,000 fine for the first offense of accepting wagers without a license, which rises to $15,000 for the second offense, and $25,000 for the third offense. Subsequent offenses may lead to the imposition of a $25,000 fine for each occurrence, an occurrence being a single wager accepted in Tennessee.
In the cease and desist letters, the Council ordered Bovada to allow all Tennessee users to withdraw any funds currently held by the unlicensed sportsbook.
âThe Sports Wagering Council recommends that Tennessee users of Bovada withdraw their funds immediately. Our primary role is the protection of the public interest through a safe, regulated environment, and Tennessee sports bettors need to know that just because they can access a sports betting website or app inside Tennesseeâs borders does not mean it is licensed to do business here,â Mary Beth Thomas, Executive Director of Tennessee Sports Wagering Council, said.
Legal sportsbook operators provide important bettor protections not found in the illegal market. If an individual wagers with unlicensed sportsbooks, their sensitive financial and personal information may not be protected and could even be shared with criminal enterprises. The bettorâs money could be withheld or disappear without a way to recover it.
The SWC is working closely with its network of law enforcement at the state and federal level to eradicate illegal sportsbooks such as Bovada and others.
Tennessee is the largest âonline-onlyâ sports betting market in the US, with more than $4.7 billion wagered in Tennessee last fiscal year through online sportsbooks licensed by the Council.
