Brings back ancient (when I was 7 or so) memories of an ad in (a comic book?) someplace saying someone won $100K while home in bed with the flu .

Many of the subscriptions (i.e. NY) require that you be a resident of the State you're getting the subscription. True online play should be done entirely via internet and such that potentially anyone in the world could participate.

I have won several Lotteries around the world: the Nigerian Lottery, the World Lotto, and some other Euro Something... [ More ]

It's official ... I was just visiting IllinoisLottery.com and I noticed that one can now on-line subscription, credit card purchase: Lotto, Little Lotto, and MegaMillions tickets (the MegaMillions tickets even give you bonus advance plays if you purchase 26 or 52 weeks of tickets at the same time).

Soon more states will begin allowing folks to purchase advance play MegaMillions subscription tickets on-line too.

congratulations to the winner!

I too am not aware of being able to buy lottery tickets in the USA from the State Lottery Offices. Is it a third party that operates online lottery purchaes? if yes, Do you receive a receipt showing what number you played and amounts prior to the drawing? Who are they regulated by

Most US Americans do not realize that the US is almost the only country in the world that taxes gambling winnings. The others usually do tax only those who operate gambling businesses. As a result this lucky young Spanish lady will keep her entire sum of E126 million (US$170 million).

Also a comment about the Megamillions and Powerball Jackpots. They are the pretax total amount of payouts over about 30 years and therefore are quite deceptive when comparing the amount posted for the Euromillio... [ More ]

No you can't. Buying American lottery tickets is a strictly cash affair. I'm surprised nobody corrected you unless I am wrong and guys will come out to correct me.

Yeah at 25 the young lady with no children has time and energy to put the money to good use, I wish her success in that.

€126M Euro Millions lottery ticket was purchased online

Lottery Post — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:20:43 GMT

Euro Million's biggest lottery winner didn't know she had won 126 million (US$170 million) because she was in bed with flu.

The lucky but ill woman was the only jackpot winner of Friday's Euro Millions drawing.

She failed to realize her numbers had come up until she dragged herself to work on Monday to save herself from being fired in recession-hit Spain.

The unnamed 25-year-old, from Majorca, said, I still had flu on Monday but with the crisis we are going through, I decided I had to g... [ More ]
