No more roll-overs after tonight's Powerball drawing?Reply
I read about the EL GORDO lottery held in Spain. All the major prize winners were purchased at one location in Madrid. At least thats what the article said.

Let me get this straight. The Lotter allows people from all over the globe to play USA lottos?Reply
What's the big deal? US Citizens are allowed to play foreign lotteries like Euromillions, Canadas lotteries, Spains El Gordo etc. if they travel abroad. If a non-citizen wins, they still have to pay taxes on their jackpot win.

Would you play Euromillions if it was available in the US?Reply
I would play it also. I would like to be able to play those, the El Gordo, and other states onine also. It would be great if someday it would be possible.

Added Maryland raffle bonus draw resultsReply

What is the largest Jackpot ever?Reply
I think you are talking about El Gordo. El Gordo has a bigger prize but is divided in such a way that a town wins not one person.

It would take 4 rollovers to get to 465 which would top the prize. Megamillions usually drops down to 58% for large prizes so a Euromillions priz

In the US you just get to share your jackpot with Uncle Sam. That's our version. Otherwise it would be called a 2nd tier prize since that's about the same level as the highest amount in El Gordo.

Bradly, does this mean the El Gordo is drawn a 5 digit number from 00000 to 99999 in a ticket? When the first prize was won, it is worth exactly $360000 US or 360,000 in Spain's currency?
