What state? I believe they started taking debit cards in LA a few years ago.
I tried to buy one with a debit card within the year and was told it must be cash. Guess that store just didn't want to take it.

You have to be at least 21 years old to play the lottery... try again in a few years.

Stealing scratch off tickets is not as simple as it sounds.
You can't just take a box of scratch offs from the shelf, go home and sit down with your lucky nickel, hoping to get lucky.
Boxes/batches of scratch offs have to FIRST be activated through the retailers lottery computer That only happens when they reload the ticket dispenser.
You will be in trouble if you try to claim a prize on an unactivated ticket.
ETA; don't ALTER your ticket to make it look like a winner. When they scan the ticket's serial number, the computer will know if it's a legit winner or not.
ETA2: don't try to make an arrangement with a lottery official to split the prize in exchange for them manually setting the winning numbers and giving them to you before the drawing. More trouble for you.
Basically, don't be a dumbass.
Good luck to some of you on that

Why would you tell anyone you paid for it with anything but cash?
You could have found it in a dumpster for all they care.

I've tried to pay for one on a credit card/debit card and they told me it had to be in cash.
Company police not law. Some take it some don't.

Ive paid both, depends on the store. Place in Thibodaux accepts debit/credit

I thought most stores required you to use cash for Lotto tickets

WTF? Why would they give you a ticket that you couldn't cash in if you won?
