Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using thelotteryinsider.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Informational use only

The Site is provided for general information, research, and entertainment. Nothing on the Site constitutes:

• gambling, lottery, or investment advice;
• an offer or solicitation to buy lottery products;
• a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness;
• an endorsement of any vendor, state lottery, or third party.

3. No affiliation

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any U.S. state lottery, multi-state game operator, gaming supplier, or government agency. Trademarks and names belong to their respective owners.

4. Your responsibility to verify

You are solely responsible for confirming prize amounts, game rules, contract status, vendor relationships, tax obligations, and legal eligibility before acting on any information. Official state lottery websites and licensed retailers are the authoritative sources for play and redemption.

5. Public data & errors

We compile data from publicly available sources (state lottery sites, procurement records, press releases, and similar). Sources may change format, delay updates, or contain errors. We do not warrant that our normalization, scraping, or manual entry is error-free. Pilot features (including scratch explorers and trend tools) may be incomplete or experimental.

6. Entertainment features

7. Responsible play

Real lottery play involves risk of financial loss. Play within your means. If gambling is a problem for you or someone you know, seek help from qualified resources in your jurisdiction. Our tools do not encourage excessive play.

8. Pro Insider & paid features

Optional paid membership ("Pro Insider"), one-time exports, and tips are processed by Buy Me a Coffee, a third-party platform. Their checkout, billing, and refund policies apply to those transactions. We may grant access to email alerts or downloads based on membership status received from Buy Me a Coffee webhooks; access can be revoked if a subscription ends or a purchase is reversed.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LOTTERY INSIDER, ITS OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US DIRECTLY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (IF ANY), OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Lottery Insider and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

12. Third-party links & services

The Site links to external websites and uses third-party services (e.g., Buy Me a Coffee, Cloudflare Turnstile, email delivery). We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability.

13. Intellectual property

Site design, compilation, and original text are protected by applicable law. You may not scrape, resell, or republish our professional datasets or exports except as expressly allowed by a valid Pro Insider export license for your own internal use.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. The "Last updated" date below reflects the latest revision. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. You agree that exclusive jurisdiction for disputes relating to the Site resides in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts, and you waive any objection to venue in those courts.
