I tried to enter this lottery and after picking out and entered some numbers, I got a message that the lottery was not available in the United States. Is this true

Don't know why MM and PB need to combine just to offer a Christmas time raffle like El Gordo when several states could do that on their own. They probably don't because they don't want to hear why are all the winners from New York
