Brazil joins the US$ 1 billion Mega Millions jackpot "lottery fever"

The most famous lottery in the United States, Mega Millions, will draw this Wednesday (2nd) a prize of US$ 1 billion. New bets will be accepted until 23:00 on Tuesday (1st). The good news for Brazilians is that they can also compete for the award, not being necessary to be a US citizen or resident.

The US lottery Mega Millions could hit a record this Tuesday (1st). A last-minute rush for tickets could make Tuesday's Mega Millions prize draw the biggest in history! And the volume should still grow significantly until the end of sales, shortly before the draw.

Fortunately, as US law does not prohibit a foreigner or tourist from winning US lottery prizes, it is perfectly legal for Brazilians to win the US$1.05 billion jackpot by purchasing official tickets online.

To play, the first step is to access the Mega Millions lottery page on TheLotter, the world's leading online lottery service. Then choose five main numbers and one additional number. Then press the play button at the bottom of the screen and that's it, you're participating in the draw.

The bettor does not need to be a US citizen or resident in the US to play and compete for the prize. That is, Brazilians can also bet. The price of the minimum bet, with five numbers, is R$ 23.73 (US$ 5).

Mega Millions lottery draws are held twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 pm EST.

Players can choose the payment method that includes Pix or banks, such as Banco do Brasil, Bradesco and Santander.

When playing the game, it is necessary to choose five main numbers ranging from 1 to 70, plus an additional “Mega Ball” number from 1 to 25. The chances of getting it right are one in 302.6 million. In the Brazilian Mega-Sena, for example, the probability of winning is one in 50 million.
