Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a ticket from out of state!?

IIRC, state residency isn't a requirement. But, the winner does have to redeem the ticket in the state. [That info pertained to the TX lottery; it may be different for the multi-state PowerBall.]

In the mid-90s, the TX lottery grew to over $40 million. There was a story of some guy in West Texas who bought $37,000 worth of tickets. After the drawing, he won ZERO.

I thought a group went together and bought tickets equal to 1/2 of a 200 million pot. They didn’t win. I don’t know how much they paid to get the tickets checked.
