Each of them won an amazing Mega Millions prize after purchasing their tickets to the popular American lottery online at TheLotter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While N.B. and B.G. played the game in the years when the Mega Millions second division prize was worth&nbsp;<strong>US$250,000<\/strong>, Nataliia won an incredible&nbsp;<strong>US$1 million<\/strong>&nbsp;in a September 2017 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Countless other players here at TheLotter have won secondary Mega Millions prizes over the years, raising the question whether all of this is really allowed. Can foreigners play Mega Millions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is a resounding &#8220;Yes!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a Non-US Citizen Win the Mega Millions Jackpot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-bc9fa9c6dab55d93836a3b4561e217e6 wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.megamillions.com\/faqs.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official Mega Millions website<\/a>&nbsp;states it quite clearly: &#8220;Visitors to the United States are always welcome to purchase tickets for our game from an American lottery retailer while they are visiting this country. You do not need to be a resident to win.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game can be played by tourists, as well as by people living temporarily in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-78958df9ec35357078bb47a0f7b864a2 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>You don&#8217;t have to hesitate to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/\">play with TheLotter<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; just ask our millions of winners! Like Nataliia from Ukraine; N.B. from Switzerland; and B.G. from Spain, you could win a huge prize when you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/\">buy lottery tickets online<\/a>, safely and securely, from wherever you are in the world. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Foreigners Buy Mega Millions Tickets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-1e3d00d224ae50a07c9f39185bc861c4 wp-block-paragraph\">The answer to the question &#8220;Can you play Mega Millions if you are not a US citizen?&#8221; is clear when you review the prize claim procedure on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/floridalottery.com\/winning\/guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florida Lottery\u2019s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To claim a prize of US$600 or more, the player must \u2026 present one form of identification that is current or was issued within the past five years. \u2026 Acceptable forms of identification include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A passport issued by a foreign government for non-annual payment option prizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A passport issued by a foreign government stamped by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services for annual payment option prizes.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-c1bbd188103fef8d8c05adda783b279d wp-block-paragraph\">In short, citizens of other countries can indeed receive American lottery prizes if they present their passport when submitting their claim. It is interesting to note that if a player wins the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/lottery-tickets\/usa-megamillions\/\">Mega Millions<\/a>&nbsp;jackpot and chooses to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/blog\/mega-millions\/payouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take the annuity payments<\/a>, they would have to be in a process of immigration or obtaining US citizenship (at least in the state of Florida).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Taxes on Mega Millions Outside US?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of tax one pays on Mega Millions prizes depends on the state where the winning ticket was purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-fa7d517a983a560f1a3b8398ae5d2d75 wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coloradolottery.com\/en\/about\/faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colorado Lottery states on its website<\/a>&nbsp;that visitors to the United States who win Mega Millions prizes &#8220;will be taxed at a higher rate than citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-e07b4da3a788e01171b54ae846bd5e7e wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.playonkansas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kansas Lottery website<\/a>&nbsp;explains the requirements in Kansas: &#8220;Non-residents will be required to provide an address outside of the U.S., and at least 30 percent of the prize amount (25 percent Federal, 5 percent State) will be automatically deducted for mandatory income withholding taxes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-21154609ed7add541354b393ebcc6f02 wp-block-paragraph\">Each state has slightly different tax requirements. An example: &#8220;For non-resident aliens, the Florida Lottery is required to withhold 30 percent federal withholding tax from all prize amounts.&#8221; In Colorado, &#8220;non-citizens are taxed at 34% (30% Federal; 4% State).&#8221; In\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.texaslottery.com\/export\/sites\/lottery\/FAQ\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas<\/a>, &#8220;The tax withholding rate for a nonresident alien is 30 percent on prizes of US$600 or more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join in the Mega Millions Fun from Abroad Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is one thing that it is important to remember.

That is where TheLotter comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an ticket messenger service, we buy official Mega Millions lottery tickets on your behalf from licensed retailers in the United States.
