The lottery association said each state has a right to gamble or create a lottery only within its borders. Currently, only Georgia and Illinois allow online lottery sales and in each case, you have to be a resident of the state and physically present there when you make your purchase.

"Powerball tickets can only legally be purchased at a state lottery sales terminal in the lottery jurisdictions that sells the Powerball game," lottery officials said. "No one can sell lottery tickets by mail or over the internet across state lines or the U.S. national border."

There are sites that claim to sell tickets, however buyers run the risk of ending up with a worthless scrap of paper.

"If you are not buying from a licensed retailer in the state or from the state lottery site (within the borders of that state), then you should not expect to be able to collect your prize," lottery officials said.

There are no restrictions on traveling to another state, buying a ticket from a licensed retailer and bringing it back to your home state.Just because Powerball tickets can't be sold online hasn't kept scammers from trying to convince people they can.

Florida lottery officials are warning of a recent scam in which people are trying to sell shares of Powerball tickets online. The bogus website includes the official Florida Lottery logo as well as information about all Florida Lottery games. They promote that they are a "USA POWERBALL Syndicate", in which players purchase shares and all winnings are divided equally between each share.

Florida officials said players cannot purchase any lottery tickets, including Powerball, via the internet, phone or by mail.
