$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Popular multi-state American lottery Mega Millions is offering a huge jackpot prize of US$323 million (₱16 billion) in its upcoming draw this Friday night.
There is no need for Philippine-based bettors to travel to the United States to take a chance on winning the great Mega Millions jackpot. Simply play the game by purchasing official Mega Millions tickets online at theLotter, the world's leading online lottery ticket purchasing service
"The best part about playing lotteries online at theLotter? Our customers don't just play lotteries - they also win them!" said theLotter's spokesman Adrian Cooremans. "Many Filipino players have won prizes while playing with theLotter.com. We have yet to have a jackpot winner from the Philippines, but who knows. That could change in this week's Mega Millions draw."
TheLotter offers Filipinos the opportunity to play Mega Millions with a single line for less than US$5 (₱250).
You don't have to be a US resident to play the Mega Millions
"The rules of US lotteries state that you do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game," Cooremans explained. "Our past winners from Europe, Australia, Canada, Latin America, and even the Philippines all received their prizes in full in accordance with American lottery rules and regulations."
How theLotter works
TheLotter.com is a lottery ticket messenger service. It uses local agents in the United States to buy official lottery tickets on behalf of its customers from all over the world. A small surcharge is added to ticket prices to cover the cost of this service. The ticket is scanned and uploaded to a customer's account before the draw. With this scanned version of the ticket and email confirmation, customers can rest assured that they have full ownership of their tickets.
TheLotter provides a dedicated support team, available 24/7, to help customers with any concerns.
