Q

Can I enter lottery draws without sharing my location?

A

No, you cannot enter lottery draws without sharing your location. State Lottery regulations require verifying that you are physically located within the state before you can order a ticket. For more information, visit our location troubleshooting page.

Q

Why can’t you verify my location?

A

Your location may not be verified due to the following reasons:

  • A VPN, proxy, or private network is active on your device.
  • Location services on your device or browser are turned off.
  • You are on a Wi-Fi network with inaccurate location data.
  • The browser you're using does not allow location permissions.

For more information, visit our location troubleshooting page.

Q

What should I do if I’m in the correct state but still getting a location-related error message?

A

If you’re in the correct state yet see an error:

  • Disable your VPN, proxy, or private network.
  • Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa.
  • Try a different browser (e.g., Google Chrome).
  • Use another device to access the service.
  • If the issue persists, contact Customer Service and provide details such as the action you were attempting, the error message, and your device, operating system, and browser.
