    NO, illegals cannot claim prize since it is for US Citizens only. But if you do want to claim the prize, im sure i can help. Let me know.

    Contrary to "conventional wisdom", you do not need to be a US citizen or possess a Social Security Number in order to claim Powerball winnings:

    CAN I PLAY POWERBALL FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE OR THE U.S.?
    CAN A NON-RESIDENT WIN POWERBALL?

    A Powerball ticket must be purchased only from a terminal operated by a licensed retailer in a state that sells the Powerball game. If you legally purchase a Powerball ticket, you can play the game and you can collect prizes. You do not have to be a citizen or a resident to play the game. You can be a tourist. That said, some states (MD, NC, ND) do have rules that seem to imply that a winner must produce evidence of citizenship or a federal SSN, but there are other ways to hold back taxes for a winner who does not have a U.S. SSN.

    That said, if you've won anything more than $600, you must have a bank account for the money to be transferred into, and it can take two weeks or more to receive the first payment.

    Prizes of $600 or less can be claimed at any registered Powerball agent.
