LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Nevada is one of the very few states that does not allow the lottery. Because of this, you will need to drive to either Arizona or California if you wish to play the lottery. However, don't drive to Utah. That state also does not offer the lottery.
Below is a list of some of the closest places to Las Vegas to buy tickets. We used the address of 13 Action News as a starting point. Mileage and time needed to make the drive will vary based on your starting point, the route you choose and traffic conditions. This is meant only as a general guide.
