Playing Lotto of other countries

[Bones]

Do most countries allow persons from other countries to play for and collect their lotto jackpots? I live in a border town and a NY state Lotto ticket could be worth the drive.

Their site didn't say *must be US resident to collect prizes* But it does say alot about taxes. Take a look at this!!!!! yikes!

I did the math on US winnings, and one would get approximately $320,000 out of each $1 Million won. This is ONLY Federal taxes. State, city and county taxes are on top of that. & if there's any child support, alimony, back taxes, parking tickets, empty parking meters, you'd have to pay that too. Wasn't there a story about a guy who won, but everybody took so much that he ended up actually owing more than he won?

As I've said before Rebeckah

$10,000,000 US - 5,000,000 US taxes = $5,000,000 US x 1.52 can/us coonversion = $7,600,000 canadian $$$

... and 7,600,000 canadian $$$ is good for a cheeseburger + a beer stopping to fill up the SUV twice on the way to the corner pub ...

Did you ever heard this one ...Heard this on T.V.''Since I've won the jackpot...I can't afford playing the lottery anymore''

Bones,

I don't see why you couldn't go across to buy tickets.
When I used to be an operator we had Americans calling all the time on Sunday mornings wanting to know the winning numbers. Mainly Detroiters calling.
