"Powerball Fever Sweeps St. Louis Stores Amidst $1.73B Jackpot Craze"
TL;DR
Buying a lottery ticket with a credit card can result in high fees and no rewards, as it is likely to be processed as a cash advance. Cash advances come with additional fees and higher interest rates compared to purchases or balance transfers. Some states even prohibit purchasing lottery tickets with credit cards. It is recommended to use cash or a debit card instead, with options like the Axos Bank CashBack Checking that offers no fees and rewards for signature-based transactions.
