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.
With all my respect Sire, my name is not Jose. I'm not even Latino. Sorry about that.Oh and I didn't winn. I'm just curious.
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:
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.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.
