How to Play from Outside the USA

People living abroad can enter the American Mega Millions lottery draw legally and directly from where they are. US law allows foreigners to receive lottery prizes, meaning that a non-US entrant stands the same chance as any US resident in winning.

To play, platforms such as The Lotter and LottoPark are available. The process for betting is practical and transparent:

1. Visit the Mega Millions page on LottoPark or on The Lotter to choose your lucky numbers: 5 main numbers and an additional number.
2. Click on “PLAY” at the bottom of the screen. Representatives from the platforms in the United States will purchase the official ticket on your behalf. You can view a scanned copy of the ticket in your personal account before the draw.
3. Upon winning, you can enjoy your prizes fully, 100% commission-free! You will be notified by email or text message.

Mega Millions tickets cost around $10 per line, which includes the fee charged by the site for the “courier” service. The platforms offer a variety of payment methods to support international participants.

While participation does not require US citizenship or residency, the official ticket cannot leave US territory. Thus, all tickets purchased through these platforms are stored securely in a vault in the United States, and a scanned copy of the ticket is sent directly to the client’s account as proof of ownership.

If you win, for prizes up to $600, the amount is deposited directly into your bank account.
