That’s right, 980 million dollary-dos.

It’s the start of a new year, a time when many set out their goals and ambitions for the 12 months ahead.

And while winning a multi, multi-million lottery jackpot is a pretty ambitious goal, if you’re not in, you can’t win, after all.

Lottery jackpots don’t come much bigger than what’s on offer Stateside this week, with two jackpots – the Mega Millions ($510 million) and Powerball ($470 million) – worth a whopping $960 million up for grabs.

Better yet, you can enter in with a chance to win both of them from right here in Ireland.

How? Well, by registering an account with The Lotter, the world’s leading online lottery ticket purchasing service.

Thousands of residents of Ireland are already playing the world’s biggest lotteries at The Lotter, and they find the service simple, safe, and secure.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign up at thelotter.com.
  2. Select Mega Millions, or Powerball, or one of 45 other lotteries available on the site.
  3. Fill out your ticket with your favourite numbers or use a computer-generated random selection.
  4. Indicate how many lines you want to play or choose to play with a lottery syndicate to increase your chances of winning.
  5. Confirm your ticket purchase and you’re eligible to win prizes in the upcoming draw.

Explaining the system further, The Lotter spokesperson, Adrian Cooremans, says: “When you order official American lottery tickets on the site, The Lotter’s local agents in the US will buy them on your behalf. In return, the website charges a transaction fee, and you will get a scan of your tickets before the draw.

“When you win a prize, it’s entirely yours (less taxes, where applicable) as no commissions are taken from winning tickets.”

More than six million lucky players from all over the world have won over $100 million in prizes by using the ticket-purchasing services of The Lotter, including Aura D, a retired woman in Panama who claimed $30 million in July 2017.

The Mega Millions draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday, while the Powerball draw is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
