Can you imagine what your life would be like if you won $226 million?

If you’re lucky, a dream like that could become reality as $226 million (€190 million) is exactly what the Powerball jackpot stands at this week.

Just because it’s taking place in the good old U S of A doesn’t mean that you can’t take part from here in Ireland. In fact, thanks to theLotter, the world’s leading online lottery ticket purchasing service, you don’t even have to leave your couch to do so.

Adrian Cooremans, spokesperson for theLotter, explains:

“I imagine there are lottery players all over the world dreaming about what homes and cars they might buy, the holidays they might take, and with whom they might share their prize if they are lucky enough to win a $226 million Powerball jackpot.

“Of course, the only way that someone could win a Powerball jackpot is by playing the Powerball lottery. In the past, this meant traveling to the United States to purchase Powerball tickets in person.

“Amazingly, this is no longer necessary.”

“Millions of people from all over the world are ordering their tickets with us,” Cooremans adds.

“We are glad to offer our services to residents of Ireland as well. You could win the biggest lottery prize in the world without leaving your home in Ireland!”

According to Powerball rules, you do not have to be an American citizen or resident to play American lotteries.

By utilising the online lottery ticket purchasing services of theLotter, you can participate in Powerball draws with official tickets with the same chance of winning as someone who bought their tickets themselves.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to follow the simple steps below.

  1. Sign up at theLotter.com
  2. Select the Powerball lottery
  3. Choose 5 numbers (from 1-69) on the playing form
  4. Choose 1 ‘Powerball’ number (from 1-26) in the orange field on the form
  5. Confirm your ticket purchase

“When you order Powerball tickets online with us, our local agents in the US will purchase them on your behalf,” Cooremans says.

“A small surcharge is added to ticket prices to cover the cost of this service. After being purchased, each 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.

“If you are lucky enough to win, your prize will be transferred to your secure, private account, and you can withdraw it at any time. The good news is that theLotter does not take any commissions from winning tickets (lottery prizes are subject to tax deductions in the United States).”

Over the years, theLotter have paid out over $100 million worth of prizes to more than six million winners all over the world.

The winners include a woman from Panama who won $30 million playing the Florida lotto and man from Baghdad who won $6.4 million in the Oregon Megabucks – so it really is possible to win prizes all over the world!

It really couldn’t be easier to be in with a chance of winning this life-changing amount of money, from the comfort of your home.
