Lottery players in the State of New Jersey will have difficulty pulling up the website NJ Lottery.com. This is because the website does not exist. When the website is entered in the URL address box, another page that has nothing do with the New Jersey lottery pops up. For the most part, if lottery players in New Jersey want information about the lotteries played in their state, they should not try to find the website NJ Lottery.com. Instead, they should visit the website www.state.nj.us/lottery.

This website will have plenty of information for New Jersey lottery players. Players should be able to find information about the rules and payouts of games, laws, rules, and regulation of the lotteries in the state, and the important information about where the money goes. Although www.state.nj.us/lottery has needed lottery information, how to get to it from the government’s website is unclear. It would be much easier for players in New Jersey to remember NJ Lottery.com when wanting to search for their state’s lottery information.

First, players would not have to search for links on the state government’s website to get the info they needed. They would be able to type NJ lottery.com in the URL address box and the same info in the link on the government’s website could instantly appear without the time needed to search on the government’s website.

In addition, players would be able to make easy reference to the website when talking with other individuals. For instance, a player telling another player where to go find lottery information would have to literally say, “w w w dot state dot n j dot u s forward slash lottery”. However if the website for the New Jersey lottery was NJ Lottery.com, then the player would only have to literally say, “N J lottery dot com”.

Players wouldn’t be the only beneficiaries of a change from www.state.nj.us/lottery to NJ Lottery.com. The State of New Jersey would benefit as well. For instance the state of New Jersey would have lower traffic on its government website and an easier time advertising the state’s lottery website in ads in or on television, papers, and radio stations. As a result of both benefits, the State of New Jersey could save costs on website maintenance and increase sales by raising attention about the much easier to find website NJ Lottery.com.

In summary, there are several benefits from changing the current lottery website (www.state.nj.us/lottery) to NJ Lottery.com. Those benefits affect both the state’s lottery players and the State of New Jersey. The benefits are 1) an easier way of locating lottery information for players, 2) savings in website maintenance costs, and 3) an increase in lottery sales due to more advertising of an easy to remember website. Despite the benefits, it does not look like there will be a change anytime soon in the lottery’s website address. For now, players will have to search for www.state.nj.us/lottery instead of NJ lottery.com if they want information about the New Jersey lotteries.
