Punters now can buy lottery tickets 24/7 for ‘Lotto6aus49’, ‘EuroJackpot’, ‘GlücksSpirale’, ‘Zusatzlotterie Spiel 77’ and ‘Zusatzlotterie SUPER6’ at aldi-lotto.de, the company announced in a statement this week, explaining that the service is operated through the Lottowelt AG online gambling platform interface, which passes on the tickets to the different lotteries.

In addition to the website, the company has launched an Aldi lottery app. In order to avail of this service, customers have to register and confirm they are over 18 years old. Afterwards, they can purchase a ticket and fill it out in the app.

Aldo lottery prices range from 20 Euro cents each and are being touted as the cheapest available in Germany.

Vittorio Rotondo, Aldi’s executive responsible for services, said in a statement:

“Thanks to the state license of Lottowelt AG and the fulfilment of the strict legal requirements, we have made our online lottery as safe as buying a ticket at physical kiosks – only easier and cheaper. Being able to hand in tickets around the clock, as well as receiving notifications by email and automatic payout of winnings are just some of the benefits of our service.”
