Someone from the Philippines could become $155 million richer this Wednesday
MANILA, Philippines — The American Powerball lottery’s jackpot prize worth $155 million (equivalent to P7.5 billion), is currently the largest lottery prize in the world.
In January this year, lottery fans across the globe held their breath as the Powerball jackpot was on track to break its all-time record of $1.586 million from back in January 2016.
In the end, the jackpot was won at $730 million by a single ticket purchased in Maryland. To this day, the lucky winner has yet to claim their prize.
To participate in the upcoming Powerball draw on Wednesday, March 10, and stand a chance of winning the $155 million Powerball jackpot, there is no need to travel to the United States. It is possible to play the game by purchasing official Powerball tickets online at theLotter.com.
"We're helping our customers from Europe, Latin America and Asia buy tickets to the biggest lotteries worldwide. We're very happy to see the continued interest and trust from our customers in the Philippines as well,” said Adrian Cooremans, spokesman for theLotter.
“Many Filipino players have won prizes while playing with theLotter.com. Along with those who have won smaller lottery prizes, one of our biggest Filipino winners was able to claim a €150,979.68 ($174,985.95) Spanish La Primitiva prize in July 2016,” he added.

How theLotter works
theLotter.com is a lottery ticket messenger service employing local agents in the United States to buy official lottery tickets on behalf of its customers from all over the world. A small surcharge is added to ticket prices to cover the cost of this service.
The 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 they have full ownership of their tickets.
At theLotter, customers can purchase tickets to the world’s biggest lotteries including Mega Millions, Powerball, EuroMillions, the Italian SuperEnalotto, EuroJackpot and more. theLotter provides a dedicated support team, available 24/7, to help customers with any concerns.
What happens when you win
The Powerball jackpot advertised by its operator is the amount before taxes. Winners receive their prizes after taxes are deducted. Therefore, the money they receive is less than the prizes promoted.
Lottery winners may be subject to local taxation based on their country of residence. The good news is that theLotter does not take any commissions from winning tickets.
If you are lucky enough to win, your prize will be transferred to your secure, private account which you can withdraw anytime.
If you win a jackpot, however, you may need to travel to the lottery’s offices to collect the prize money yourself. In this case, a lawyer provided to you by theLotter free of charge will assist you in the process.
Over the years, theLotter has paid out more than $100 million in prizes to over 6 million winners from across the globe. The biggest winners at the site have included a woman from Panama who won $30 million playing the Florida Lotto, and a man from Iraq who won a $6.4 million Oregon Megabucks jackpot.
The Powerball jackpot could be won at any time, and the next draw is coming up soon.
You, too, can play to win Powerball’s massive jackpot! If someone from Panama can win by purchasing official tickets online at theLotter, so could you.
