Some asshole in Nebraska won the $365 million last night. I just knew my numbers would hit last night.

FFS, we get all worked up here when the Super7 hits 30 million (only happened twice). I wish we could get lottery jackpots that big.

Is there anything stating that you must be a citizen of the US to play a lottery there? Can resident aliens win?

I don't see why not, they will still tax\you in the US, and then you will get hit again in Canada.

Canadian residents can play. We would get hit by the american taxes initially, but you would get it all back. Lotto winnings in canada are not taxable, so a 30 million dollar win equals 30 million in the bank. Same as when a Canadian hits big in Vegas. You pay the American taxes up front, but when you get back to Canada you get it all back.

What planet are you from?

Canada...we come in peace.

I ask because I'll be working in New Jersey over the summer on a visa, and if there's a big jackpot I'd kill myself for not playing a little.

They should really knock down the jack pots and let more people win. Imagine getting 36 mill if 10 people win or 10 mill if 36 win, that's enough to live off relatively lavishly even without investing a dime of it. Put it in an orange account and you're making 300k or so off the 10 mill annually.
