Re: 
Loto Inc. (the “Company”)
Letter from the Commission Dated August 3, 2009 (the “Comment Letter”)
File No. 333-159858
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Company is in receipt of the Commission’s Comment Letter addressing the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed with the Commission on July 21, 2009 (“Amendment No. 1”).  The Company herewith files Amendment No. 2 on Form S-1/A (referred to herein as “Amendment No. 2”) in response to the Comment Letter.  Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission shows cumulative blacklined changes from Amendment No. 1.

In addition to Amendment No. 2, the Company herewith responds to the Commission's comments as follows.  In each case, the number of the Commission’s comment contained in the Comment Letter is set forth below, followed by the Company’s response.  The location of information responsive to the Commission’s comments in documents and forms which are ancillary to this letter are identified in square brackets at the end of each respective comment item.

2.    
Upon further assessment and analysis of the Company’s prospective revenue generation expectations, the Company still expects that the sales cycle with each prospective lottery operator will take between six and eighteen months, covering the period from initiation of the sales solicitation through technical demonstrations, testing, negotiations and closing of contracts for mobile lottery operations.  As disclosed, the Company has already commenced its initial sales and marketing program and the Company has had early stage meetings with some lottery operators in Canada and is actively pursuing other opportunities in Canada and elsewhere.  If the Company is successful in simultaneously completing the development of our software and closing initial contracts with lottery operators, the minimum time in which the Company believes that it could commence generating revenues would be eight months from the date of this prospectus.  The Company has clarified and conformed Amendment No. 2 accordingly [See Current State of our Business, page 26].

Exhibits 23.1 and 23.3

5.    
The Company has taken note of the Commission’s comment and has conformed Amendment No. 2 accordingly.  Please take note that Exhibit 23.1 to Amendment No. 1 was filed with Amendment No. 1 because it had been unintentionally omitted by the EDGAR filing agent from the original Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 10, 2009.  Exhibit 23.1 to Amendment No. 2 is the most current signed and dated consent from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm [See Exhibit 23.1].

The Company hereby acknowledges the following:
