How to Play from Outside the US
Residents from other countries can legally and conveniently participate in the American Mega Millions lottery directly from anywhere. U.S. law allows foreigners to receive prizes from local lotteries, meaning that a player’s chances are the same as any player in the United States.
There are platforms like The Lotter and LottoPark. The betting process is practical and transparent:
- Visit the Mega Millions page at LottoPark or The Lotter, choose your lucky numbers: 5 main numbers and one additional number.
- Click “PLAY” at the bottom of the screen. Platform representatives in the United States will buy the official ticket on your behalf. You can see a scanned copy of the ticket in your personal account prior to the draw.
- If you win, you can enjoy your prizes in full, 100% commission-free! You will be notified via email or text message.
Tickets cost approximately $10 per line, which includes the service commission. Platforms offer a variety of payment methods.
It’s important to know that, while you don’t need to be a U.S. citizen or resident to participate, the official ticket cannot leave the U.S. territory. All tickets purchased through these platforms are securely stored in a vault in the United States, and a scanned copy of the ticket is sent directly to the customer’s account as proof of ownership.
In case of winning, if the prize is up to $600, the amount is deposited directly into your bank account.
