US Mega Millions jackpot jumps to US $1 billion and you could win it from Costa Rica!

The popular American lottery reached a massive $1 billion – an amount that has not been seen in years! Last Tuesday, the $810 million jackpot rolled over, giving everyone, including Costa Rican citizens, an amazing chance of winning this multi-million jackpot prize. In this article, we will show you how to safely and securely purchase your Mega Millions tickets online!

The next Mega Millions draw is coming up on Friday July 29th at night, with a jackpot worth US$ 1 Billion and we’re helping our customers from around the world participate,” says Adrian Cooremans, theLotter’s spokesman. “We’re glad that you have a chance of winning this incredible prize without having to leave your home in Costa Rica!”

TheLotter is an online lottery ticket messenger service providing people everywhere with the opportunity to play their favorite lottery draws, with official lottery tickets, from anywhere in the world.

Here’s how it works

At theLotter you’ll be taking a chance at winning millions for a cost of just $5 per line! And not only that. When you buy your official Mega Millions tickets online at theLotter, you’ll participate in the draw under the same conditions as if you were buying your tickets in the United States, with the exact same chances of winning the jackpot:

1. Sign up at thelotter.net

2. Select the Mega Millions lottery.

3. Choose 5 numbers (from 1-70) on the playing form.

4. Choose 1 ‘Mega Ball’ number (from 1-25) in the orange field on the form.

5. Confirm your ticket purchase.

Purchasing official lottery tickets online is the same as purchasing them in person, except that you can do it anytime, anywhere you are, using your phone, or any other device with an internet connection.

“We buy official Mega Millions Lottery tickets on our customers’ behalf and scan them into their online account as proof of purchase, so it is very clear what we do,” says Cooremans. “I believe it is because we focus so heavily on security and convenience, that customers keep returning to the site time after time,” he adds.

No commissions on your winnings

If you are lucky enough to win a prize, congratulations! Your prize will be transferred to your secure, private account and you can withdraw it at any time, while if you win the Mega Millions jackpot, you’ll need to fly to the United States to collect your prize in person (in this case, theLotter will probably pay your travel expenses.). TheLotter charges customers a small transaction fee but no commissions are taken from winning tickets.

Are there real winners with theLotter?

Yes! Over the years, theLotter has paid out more than $100 million in prizes on over 7 million winning tickets to lucky players from across the globe. The biggest winners at the site include a woman from Panama who won $30 million playing the Florida Lotto, and a man from Iraq who won a $6.4 million Oregon Megabucks jackpot.

The Mega Millions jackpot could continue to roll over, growing in size in the coming weeks, but on the other hand, it could be won in the upcoming draw. If you buy your Mega Millions tickets online at theLotter, and have a bit of luck, maybe that winner will be you!
