Yes, you can play the lottery in another state if you are physically present in that state at the time of purchasing the ticket. Each state has its own lottery games and rules, so be sure to check the specific regulations of the state where you plan to buy a ticket. Keep in mind that you must claim any winnings in the state where the ticket was purchased, which may involve different tax implications depending on the state.
