  The short answer is you buy your ticket at a store in that state wait for the results because you can't cash any winner tickets in another state. This includes multi-state games like MM and PB.

  Or contact friend/family who will purchase and mail tickets to you (and pray that tix do not get lost in the mail!)

  ...Try to get Florida to endorse Megamillions would be the real answer. Oh, if only.  Most people here just drive up to Georgia to get some MM tickets. 

  Honestly, though, you'll probably have to travel out of state or ask a trusted friend or relative to mail the tickets to you in some way. 

  I believe there are some services where you can buy them legally online out of state, but they require more payment for the service and shipping. From what I understand, you lose the anonymity too. Not 100 percent sure, though.
