It is not legal. You will be involved in serious consequences if you violate your state laws as such you must be very careful as your future may be spoiled if you involve in such illegal lottery.

Online Lottery is not illegal you can play it but you have to pay the income tax on the money you receive in your account from the winnings. You would have to declare your winnings from lottery and pay tax at 30 per cent. Online lotteries are a legal gray area in India.
