• Answer:

  The ONLY way to get a real Powerball (USA) lottery ticket is to buy one, in person, from an approved retailer. They only sell Powerball in certain states, and cannot sell through the mail or on-line at all. I live in Las Vegas, and I can't even buy a Powerball ticket without traveling to another state because Nevada doesn't participate in Powerball. The only way you can play from out of the country is if you had a trusted source in the US that could go buy the ticket and then mail it to you. And you'd have to trust them to mail you any winners as well as the losers - Powerball tickets are paid to the bearer of the ticket that presents it for payment regardless of who bought it. If I were you I'd come up with another way to throw away my money. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning Powerball (or any other large lottery) anyway. And if anyone disagrees with me, provides you with a website, or offers to handle the transaction for you, rest assured you are being lied to and scammed. No legitimate American lottery can be played from overseas due to state and federal gaming regulations, period.
