However, the Lotto Bureau reminds that although not American citizens can buy lottery tickets, prize tickets, and receive prizes, generally speaking, people are required to be in the United States.

Ms. Song, a micro-businessman in New York, launched a lottery ticket business on the 20th, with the charges marked as RMB 19.99 per lottery. If you win the big prize, the prize will be divided equally, and the small prize will be 10%; the purchaser is required to provide the number of lottery tickets you want to purchase. Ms. Song also put forward a promotional slogan on her WeChat: "If you don't say much nonsense, just buy it, and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!"

Some people not only ask for buying Zicai, but also ask for buying strong balls. Payment methods are mostly made with WeChat red envelopes.

US Lotto authorities said that US lottery tickets can be purchased regardless of whether they are US citizens or not, but they must be 18 years old or older. Even if you are not a U.S. resident, or you don’t live in the U.S. forever, you can buy it in person in any state where the lottery tickets are issued.

Non-US residents are also eligible to receive bonuses, but it should be noted that the amount of the prize money includes taxes and partial income tax, which vary from state to state.
