I am most certain that people from other countries have won the big jackpots. Now whether they were just working here or seeking citizen ship i don't know. A cab driver from New York who was from EL Salvador i think. And there may have been a few more people .

I agree with RJOh. It's the best way to find information. I can tell you that there have been a couple of big winners in Florida (not PB or MM) from other countries. I remember when one couple was on vacation from Germany won millions and a man from Central America (can't remember the exact country) won a lot of money earlier this year, like $40 million.

There was a story in the LP news section a couple of years ago about a person from Mexico winning the MegaMillions jackpot in Texas. He claimed his prize using a trust. You can probably find the story by during a search of all the LP news articles.
