This Friday, December 27, 2024, the American lottery is putting a prize of 1.15 billion dollars into play. Is it possible as a French person to win this huge sum??

It's an astronomical sum. The famous American lottery reached $1.15 billion to be won, (around €1.1 billion) this Friday, December 27. No one has won the jackpot for over 100 days, thus explaining such figures, according to BFMTV.

200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000

Since the draws are carried out on Tuesday and Friday, this Tuesday, December 24, no winner was declared, so the figure has increased again. If anyone wins, it would be the 5th largest win in history.

The odds of winning this huge jackpot are 1 in 302 million, according to the company in charge of the lottery.

Can a French person try their luck??

According to the official rules of the game, you don't have to be American or live in the United States to be able to participate. There is one condition: you have to be on American soil to buy your ticket, which is the only place they are sold. For tourists, it may be worth it!

The winner will however be subject to the tax of the state in which he bought the ticket. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can recover up to 39.6% of the amount won. If a foreigner wins, this percentage can increase.

The lucky winner will then have to go to the United States if he wins the jackpot, where the check will be handed to him.
