If I purchase a Mega Millions ticket in one state, can I redeem it in another?

[Mike_25]

As an experienced aficionado of lottery games, I have learned that while lottery tickets are sold across state lines, winnings are redeemed solely within the state of purchase. Each state operates its own lottery and winner payouts. Though the odds of winning a jackpot are small wherever you play, the prizes themselves remain quite substantial. Should luck smile upon you this day, make haste to claim your prize at an authorized retailer within the borders of the state depicted on your winning ticket. The jackpot may be tremendous but the rules remain consistent.

You can redeem a Mega Millions ticket in any state that offers the game, regardless of where you bought the ticket. You'll need to make sure that the state you're trying to redeem the ticket in has reciprocity with the state where you bought it
