All taken, either parking pages or nothing at all.

I realize you don't typically purchase lottery tickets online, but I find it odd that not a single one of these domains has been purchased by one of the many lotteries, or developed to any extent. Overture numbers for last month are not great, but still show people are looking for them.

4803 lottery ticket
639 lottery ticket online
578 buy lottery ticket online
562 buying lottery ticket online

Does anybody else find it odd that none of these are owned/developed by a lottery organization?

Or is it just me? :red:

I think it's a shame they aren't developed. A lot of people would like to be able to buy tickets for out-of-country or out-of-state lotteries so that may be why they are searching. Besides looking for the winning numbers that is. And lotteries are the next best thing to casinos.

Indeed... even stranger that the Indian Casinos haven't purchased them... If I remember correctly, they are about the only ones capable of inter-state lotto ticket sales... Not sure of the details, but I would always expect them to be the ones pushing the envelope AND looking for new ways to reach the masses.

I used to own a lottery domain. I even found a lottery affiliate program for it , but I was swamped with projects at the moment, got a nice offer for it and sold it.There`s a parking page on it right now.

Thanks for the replies Ladies and Gentlemen.

My initial thoughts when discovering this...

Sure, we are domainers, so parking pages are nothing new, and for that matter - we are even accustomed to complaints about how so many good domains are not developed, but it's rare that I find such a common term or phrase without a single one of the major extensions being developed.

I have a lottery domain on a cctld that makes $50.00 a month parked.

I don't know about others, but I'm completely astounded by your find. Even more so because I swear I've checked on these names before. It is very abnormal that a whole block of valuable, popular names like this would be overlooked....we're talking global lotteries, not just the US...zowie.
