Purchase steps

How to buy

  1. 01

    Choose an authorized retailer

    Buy tickets only from licensed Maryland lottery retailers. Phone, mail, and direct internet purchases are not part of the standard in-person ticket-buying flow unless the official lottery explicitly offers them.

  2. 02

    Use the retailer’s accepted payment method

    Payment methods vary by retailer and location. Some stores may accept cards, while others limit lottery purchases to cash or debit only.

  3. 03

    Buy before the game-specific cutoff

    Around 10:00 PM, with exact cutoff times varying by game and drawing.

Know before you buy
  • Check the schedule for the specific game you want to play. Not every game uses the same cutoff time.
  • Keep the ticket flat and readable, and sign it after purchase if you want to protect ownership before claiming.
  • Use official lottery digital tools for results, ticket scanning, and retailer lookup, not for purchases unless the state lottery explicitly offers online play.
