Mega Millions Scam Alert | Rochester News

A new Mega Millions scam is targeting victims across multiple states with fake calls claiming you’ve won $18.6 million plus two Mercedes—only to demand upfront taxes before you get your cash. Legit lotteries never call winners out of the blue; you must buy a ticket to even be eligible. Scammers use urgency tactics to pressure you into sending money via gift cards or Green Dot cards—never do it. The New York Gaming Commission warns: if it sounds too good to be true and asks for cash up front, it’s a scam. Protect your wallet and stay alert.
