Scratching Your Head About Scratching Off Online? Your Guide to New York Lottery Tickets
Let's face it, we've all dreamt of that life-changing lottery win. That mansion with a moat (or a functioning slide, whichever suits your fancy). But for New Yorkers with itchy trigger fingers (or maybe just a busy schedule), the question remains: can you actually buy those lottery tickets online?
Hold Your Horses (Unless They're Racing Horses... Because You Can Bet on Those Online in New York... But That's a Different Story)
Nope, not quite. As of today, you can't snag individual tickets for games like Powerball or Mega Millions with a click of your mouse. But fear not, fellow fortune seekers! There are still ways to play the game.

It's basically like having a lottery-playing butler, minus the excessive wealth and questionable morals.
