Lottery Information
Can I buy Powerball Tickets Through the Internet?
...Taken from the Powerball.com site on Jun 10, 2015:
No. Start with that answer and then slowly back into "sometimes". Gambling is illegal in the United States. A State has the right to gamble or create a lottery ONLY within its borders. When a game or information about a game cross a state line, or the national border, then it falls into federal jurisdiction. So, some lotteries do sell TO THEIR RESIDENTS through the Internet but not across their state line. Powerball tickets can only legally be purchased at a state lottery sales terminal in the lottery jurisdictions that sells the Powerball game. A lottery can also legally sell tickets on the Internet, but only to persons within its own state. No one can sell lottery tickets by mail or over the Internet across state lines or the U.S. national border. No one except the lottery or their licensed retailers can sell a lottery ticket. No one. Not even us. No one. No, not even that web site. Or that one. You really don't need to send me questions about a specific site. None of them can legally sell lottery tickets across a state border or the U.S. border.
Law prevent the SALE (exchange of consideration) of any interest in the outcome of a gambling event. If you are not buying from a licensed retailer in the state or from the state lottery site (within the borders of that state), then you should not expect to be able to collect your prize. There are no regulations of websites that claim to sell tickets or to sell you a "service" to buy and hold tickets for you. Many lotteries believe that they would violated state and federal laws is they paid on those tickets purchased (if actually purchased) by an unlicensed re-seller.
You can legally travel to another state, buy a ticket, and bring it back to your home state (at least I believe that no state now has a law forbidding the possession of a lottery).
Can a non-resident Win Powerball?
...Taken from powerball.com Jun 10, 2015:
If you legally purchase a Powerball ticket, you can play the game and you can collect prizes. You do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game. You can be a tourist. That said, some states do have rules that seem to imply that a winner must produce evidence of citizenship or a federal SSN, but there are other ways to hold back taxes for a winner who does not have a U.S. SSN. Occasionally, some state lawmaker talks about limiting wins to U.S. citizens, but no laws have passed so far.
How do I play Powerball?
- Buy a ticket from a participating lottery retailer.
- From there you win by matching the numbers you selected with the draw that your ticket is for. Here is a link to show what you need to match to win. lotteryhub.com/powerball-prizes-and-odds.php.
- Note: You can use the LotteryHUB app to enter your numbers to help determine if you matched anything.
- When you do win something, take the ticket to any participating lottery retailer in the state you purchased the ticket for your winnings.
Can you help me win?
While the LotteryHUB Team certainly empathizes with our users' dreams to win the lottery, we have no control, whatsoever, over any of the numbers that are drawn with any of the lotteries.
We can, however, wish you the best of luck.
What is the multiplier?
When purchasing either a Powerball or Mega Millions lottery ticket, one has the option to add a multiplier. The multiplier is a random number drawn immediately prior to the official lottery draw. This number will either be a 2, 3, 4 or 5 and will be used to multiply any prizes one might have won during the draw. The Powerball Power Play and the Mega Millions Megaplier can each be purchased for $1 per line.
However, there are a few exceptions for the multiplier. If the Jackpot is won in either Powerball or Mega Millions, the multiplier will not be used. Also in Powerball, the Match 5 prize of $1 Million would become $2 Million if the multiplier had been purchased.
