Can A Foreigner Playing From Outside The USA Win The Powerball Lottery?
/
Curious to know whether you can win and collect prizes from the USA Powerball if you live outside the United States?
A spokesman for the North Carolina Lottery answered this question.
"If you legally purchase a Powerball ticket, you can play the game and you can collect prizes," said Van Denton, a spokesman for the North Carolina Lottery.
"You do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game," he said.
"You could be a tourist. For example, someone from a state without Powerball could play while visiting a state that has the game."
That could also include someone visiting from another country, he said.
