    Many are predicting that the jackpot will be over $800 million... and over $1B next week if there is no winner.

    Marios lottery group is most likely buying a group buy into that one... There's also a website you can purchase the tickets on. Some convenience store sends you a scan of the ticket and holds onto it if you win. I read some guy from Iraq purchased a pretty huge win for $16m by doing this. He had to fight to remain anonymous but eventually he got all of his money.

    From what I've seen online, yes non-US residents can play and win the Powerball. You can purchase tickets from thelotter.com as well, I can't open the site at work though, so check its 'legitness'.

    Do that many of you really play the lottery?

    Thanks in advance to y'all for subsidizing my taxes by ~1.5 Billion a year!

    Yes. They has talked about limiting it to US Citizen only but never implemented it.

    You will still be taxed like US Citizen tho and had to apply to have the tax refunded.

    1st of all, $700M is pay out over 20+ years. You want all of it now, it'll be around $500M.

    Then fed takes 25% off for taxes.

    Then state will take a % as well.

    So it'll be closer to $250M 1 time payment. As Canadians, you can apply to have the taxes refunded.
