Loads of Irish trying their luck for the $243 million Powerball lottery draw

Brought to you by The Lotter

There's a Christmas bonus and then there's this.

As we hit the festive season, theLotter is allowing people to dream of a December like no other. This Saturday, the US Powerball lottery draw offers a ridiculous jackpot of over $243 million and we think it's fair to say that our classic and understated tone of, "sure that's a nice wee lift coming up to Christmas" doesn't fit for a sum of that magnitude. So it's no surprise that thousands of Irish people are already using TheLotter to safely and securely purchase official tickets for Powerball and other foreign lotteries, because every one of them using the service puts themselves in with a chance of becoming a millionaire if they win.

TheLotter is the leading online lottery ticket messaging service in the world, enabling people everywhere to play, and possibly win, the biggest international lotteries.

Since its launch in 2002, TheLotter has paid out more than $100 million in prizes to over six million winners from across the globe. The biggest winners at the site have included a woman from Panama who won $30 million playing Florida Lotto, and a man from Iraq who won a $6.4 million Oregon Megabucks jackpot.

TheLotter charges a small service fee, but the good news, according to TheLotter’s representatives, is that "when you win, we don't charge commissions, no matter how big or small the prize is".

According to Adrian Cooremans, theLotter’s spokesman, it is possible to play American lotteries such as Powerball from Ireland as "lottery rules clearly state that you do not need to be a citizen or resident to play, nor is there any law in the United States prohibiting a foreigner from winning the lottery".

Based on those rules, residents of Ireland can participate in the Powerball draw with official lottery tickets purchased legally on their behalf by a respected and reputable ticket messenger service, such as TheLotter.

The current Powerball jackpot of $243 million will be drawn on Saturday 5 December. All Irish people who buy their official Powerball tickets at theLotter will participate in the draw with the same conditions as if they were physically in the United States.
