I'd really like to see that? From the official California Lottery website there is NOT an option to purchase lottery tickets online. Maybe you could post a copy of your link on here.

I'd hate to see you get ripped of by a scammer.

What exactly are you trying to buy?

The legality of it is questionable (Alaska statutes don't specifically address this) but I think that a greater concern is whether the site you made the account with is legit or a scam. If they are trying to sell you Powerball online, it probably isn't legit. I'd be careful giving them my CC #

Buy Lottery Tickets Online Play Online Lottery & Lotto for Mega Millions, Powerball and other

If it's this one....run away fast. Scam city. Did setting up an account with them involve giving them any banking information?

Oh I know that. It's just that it says on the site that they can't be purchased from out of state, which is what Grumpy was asking about. Tough luck, Grumps. Buy some Nenana Ice Classic tickets instead.

geezzz if Alaska did legalize it...I sure hope the state would benefit 'cuz most other states don't see any revenue from them..then you and I have to pay for state mandated insurance to pay for the rehabilitation of the gambling addicted people!! MA is a prime example of what goes wrong with state mandated insurance and if we allow gambling then insurance pays for the rehab for the addiction!!! WTH??
