Don't Let "Lottery Fever" Cloud Your Judgement; Scammers Ready to Take Advantage

(Bob Hague, WRN) Gary Kohn with the Wisconsin Lottery says even though the line at your favorite retailer may be long, you should wait it out because it's the only way to get a legitimate Mega Millions ticket for tonight's massive jackpot.

“If someone is offering you a winning ticket or a ticket for cash on any other platform it is almost certainly a scam and we do not want people to fall prey to that.” While other states may offer mobile ticketing options, Wisconsin does not.

So, anyone promising you a ticket through social media platforms or text messages is trying to dupe you. Also, make sure to sign your ticket right away.
