DO NOT PLAY US LOTTERIES HERE

I decided to open an account on GoLotter to play the US LOTTERIES when they had billion dollar jackpots This site originally advertised it that an agent appointed by them in the US would buy the ticket for the customer me and scan the ticket so that I see the uploaded copy and that s legally my ticket If I win this is my proof of ownership allegedly However when the jackpots started to get really big I started to ponder the ramifications of someone being in possession of a ticket potentially worth billions of dollars and handing that over to little old me whom they ve never met Whilst some people are honest it would definitely be a situation where dishonesty could occur So I started to dig deeper Firstly I noticed that the barcodes and any identification codes numerical sequences on my uploaded tickets were blurred out This made me suspicious I then started looking at their site rules and claiming prizes procedures Whilst I m paraphrasing as I did not copy original text it has been altered but I will get to that after it said that if you win the jackpot I will have to claim in person and they will pay for my flights etc and hand me the ticket when I get there really for a ticket worth over a billion dollars there is so much potential for error here - just saying Ok so then I started looking into the tax implications and prize payout structure The payouts are either annuity over 29 years or a cash lump sum which is heavily reduced approximately half of the advertised jackpot then there s the tax implications Federal taxes are deductible immediately 30 and possibly state taxes depending on which state it s purchased in This varies wildly from 0 in a few places to a lot more but all that being said you could still walk away with a cool half billion dollars which made me really keen to try - come on who wouldn t want 500m to spend Then came the sticking point I cannot remember exactly what made me look but I started to check reviews like on here and I don t know about you but whenever I read a genuine and possibly negative review they always seem to be followed by a couple of Amazing 5 star reviews I ll let you make up your own minds on that So I saw the scam ones and thought I would go look at rules of the actual lottery on the operator s website ie MEGA MILLIONS POWERBALL I found that it said paraphrasing again you CAN play if you don t live in the US but MUST buy whilst you are visiting ie PYSICALLY PRESENT in the US at the time of purchase and it prohibits you buying through an AGENT or third party I contacted GoLotter questioning this and was extremely suspicious that they kept changing the answer when I pressed them on the live chat When I questioned further stating what I had found and that I would basically be committing fraud if I was not there when the ticket was purchased an easily proven point they didn t answer me I can recall at the time I was quite busy and decided to follow up later when I had more time When I did have some time later I was compiling an email to send and went to take screenshots of their appointed agent wording only to find it completely altered now using different terms instead of agent it s now a lottery courier service I ve just also noted that they say they will upload a reasonable facsimile of the ticket too so that cover the blurred out angles Apologies for the novel but if you re in any doubt go look at the original MegaMillions website and the Powerball website it states the rules there In short my opinion is that you can buy tickets through them but you couldn t legally claim the prize in the US if you win BIG Whoever went to that retailer would probably be the legal owner and could claim the huge prize and with my limited legal knowledge the most you d get back is a refund of the ticket price if that and a world of disappointment if you happened to beat the enormous odds and win the jackpot Don t waste your money
