Most US states run their own lottery, but a few don't. As of the latest information, the states without a state lottery are:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Hawaii
- Nevada
- Utah
Why some states don't have one
Reasons vary and include state constitutional limits, political choices and, in Nevada's case, a large existing gaming industry.
Can residents still play?
People from these states can buy tickets when visiting states that sell them, following that state's rules. Tickets are generally sold in person, and online sales are limited to eligible locations.
Laws change. Always check current rules with the lottery in the state where you buy.
