2. Click on “PLAY” at the bottom of the page. Platform representatives in the United States will buy the official ticket on your behalf. You will be able to see a scanned copy of the ticket in your personal account before the draw.
3. If you win, you can enjoy your full prize, 100% commission-free! You will be notified by email or text message.

Mega Millions tickets cost $10 per line, which includes the fee the site charges for the “courier” service. The platforms offer a variety of payment methods.

It is important to know that, while you do not need to be a US citizen or resident to participate, the official ticket cannot leave US territory. Therefore, all tickets purchased through these platforms are securely stored in a safe 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, and the prize is up to $600, the amount is deposited directly into your bank account.
