Hi, online lottery is illegal in India. Few years back, Supreme Court had banned lotteries in few states and refused to make sale of lotteries a fundamental right. Lottery in India is governed by the Lotteries Regulation Act, 1998, according to which the states are allowed to conduct a lottery subject to conditions.
