Mass still won't sell MegaMillions subscriptions by mail or phone from out of state, but it does sound like you can do it that way if you have a Mass address. I don't understand that reasoning.

BobP, your last paragraph sounds really mysterious ... I guess most of us know the first one you mention, but who is the one who just appeared yesterday? If you do not want to post their name, just PM it to me please

What I'm saying is you could travel to any state or country with a lottery, walk into the local lottery store and buy a ticket, cash it if you win, take the money home or wire it whatever.

Lottery states have a vested interest in keeping their sales stable. They would rather not have customers chasing jackpots around the country when they could be playing at home. This means they do not have to adjust the game to attract customers, etc. The word monopoly ring a bell? Until this mindset cha... [ More ]

US code title 18, Part 1, Chapter 95, Section 1953. Read it. It should clarify the questions. Where you can get thru the loop is a clearinghouse venture that acts on your hehalf, but there is a catch. THey get a percentage and your monies must be claimed thru the IRS when funds are relinquished to an American based, Territorial account.

Hey Tiggs,

knock yourself out at the corner drug store, while you re out, stop by for a Bush

burger. Don t ask about the special sauce, you don t want to know.

Hey I just heard today that mesicans in mesico by 60-70 % do not observe their own laws.

If that is not enough, they come here to break our laws and get away with it.

Our corruption is much more sophistica... [ More ]

2) It isn't illegal for you to purchase a lottery ticket from a location where its sale is perfectly legal.....

BobP,

Just curious. That being the case, why is Massachusetts the only state lottery that will sell subscription tickets out of state?

Also, If I remember right, someone once posted something about a ceiling of $1 million on jackpot game payoffs on tickets bought on site, regardless of the advertised jackpots.

Something to do with what you said about a butler serv... [ More ]

1) You're not really asking the right question. The sites online that buy a ticket for you, hold it until the drawing and send you the winnings or apply the the winnings against the next draw, are if structured properly preforming a butler service and it is perfectly legal for you to use them. See USA MEGA on the left column.

You re kidding,

right?

You need to talk to a member named Pumpi.

If Japan can weasel their way around laws like Bush

did and disregard nuclear regulation to be unsafe and dump radioactive waste

into the ocean, who s gonna stop you except the competition? Deregulation is

the password to taxation exemption and entitlement. You don t need no stik n

laws and if you think like the big boys you can pay whatever fine is imposed

and still come out smelling like a turd.

LuckyStrike888,

Not sure but I don't think it's legal to buy tickets in foreign lotteries in the U.S.

Back in the days of the Irish Sweepstakes it was illegal to buy the tickets but if you won anything substantial you were expectdd to pay the taxes on it.

Go figure.

Hi LuckyStrike,

I don't know much about laws and such and only obey the ones that make sense so I can't tell you much about that.

I did used to smoke Lucky's though years ago, and your name reminded me of that.

They used to be the number 1 seller and now you don't even see em anymore.

I don't smoke anymore but I wouldn't mind havin' a Lucky with my Jack right now.

I'm sure somebody will answer your questions pretty quick.

Good luck to ya, LuckyStrike... [ More ]

Hi Everyone ~~~

I hope your day is great ...

I have a question regarding lottery laws in the USA.

My questions are these -

1) Is it against the USA Laws to purchase lottery tickets online while you are within the USA ???

2) How about lottery tickets from another country - for example the Elgordo ? - Is it against the USA Laws to purchase online elgordo lottery tickets while you are within the USA ???

3) If you win, what would happen
