I'm 18 without an official ID. Can I buy cigarettes/lotto tickets if I bring in my birthd certificate and a photo ID (highschool ID - doesnt have my age on it)?

I would say yes if the state that you live in and are buying from allows 18 year olds to smoke. :)

Possibly, but why would you want to carry your birth certificate around all the time? You can just go to the DMV to get an official state ID (not necessarily a driver's license, unless that's what you want), it will probably save you a lot of trouble :)

You can sure try.

Not likely. Most retailers have strict requirements on what they consider "acceptable forms of I.D." these are usually posted in the store, and they will not waver from these policies. These standards are often set by the state, and cannot be deviated from at the discretion of the store.

I work in a grocery store that cashes checks and sells cigarettes. We required a government issued ID, and it cannot be paper (such as a driver's permit or birth certicifate). I don't know if it is a state law. It may just be the policy of the company.
