@Edith A..I had the same problem with the location error… try closing out all your open pages on your mobile device and restarting also if necessary. Once I did this I had no trouble with purchasing online play.

I got Powerball was all nothing to go with it. Now I can't even get on online play, saying my location cannot be verified although I played before. Oh well, guess just more money I'll save.NC Lottery
