I have driven 110 miles to the Indiana boarder to pick up PowerBall tickets when the jackpot was $100M+. I alway justified the trip by cashing in $10-$15 worth of tickets from the last time I played but the jackpot has not gotten that high for a while and when it does, the tickets I have now may be too old to cash in, so I may have made my last trip. Beside MegaMillion, sold locally, is satisfying my need to play. I concluded I won money when I played PB because I bought more tickets to make

I would only go to the local lottery retailer. I know alot of people in different states so if it came down to it , I would ask them to purchace a ticket or two. Good to know people in other states.

I would only travel to next state if the jackpot was a record for mega millions other wise I would continue to buy local.

I took a family vacation trip and just picked up a few tickets up there and I notice that I win more out of state than at my home state.So one day I decided to take a trip there again just to buy tickets.Im from Minnesota and the trip I took was in South CarolinaI know thats WAY far out but I won $2,500 so I had to drive back there to claim my money.If I would have won $100 and under I would have saved the ticket for the next trip.
